Hi Darran,
maybe Ross Lazarus'  external method "fileme"
(http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-June/005060.html) can give you
some hints on traversing the zope tree and doing things to objects.
(fileme recursively saves zope folders and their sub-objects out to the
harddisk - but what you actually do to the object is not so important, I
think tree traversal should be the hardest).
btw: Ross would appreciate to receive an email notice if you download
fileme...

Hope this helps,
Heiko
