Isn't there an IPAS called Python made just for that ??? If you don't want to buy the IPAS it look like a long tedious manual job. We tried a similar process with a roll of 35mm movie film moving and bending along a path. Its ashame in a way. I also work with Softimage occasionally and doing something like what your talking about is 3 mouseclicks away. I think its even in the tutorial. 1)You create a spline ( or path ) 2) deform the object on the path say at the beginning and then 3) transform the object along the path at a given keyframe. Its wonderful!
