i don't see anything in the framework or modules that presently do a vfs -> 
vfs copy functionality.  this could be very useful for backups, e.g. 
extracting from a vfs sql to a physical path on a filesystem.

this is my main focus at the moment as i'd been looking for a while to find a 
way of quickly and easily publishing photos on my pc to my website.  the xp 
publish works great for me, but i find it's neither flexible nor portable 
enough to use for my needs.

running horde/ansel on my home pc from a windows command prompt with the same 
vfs settings as my horde website gives me more options - not very simple for 
the average user to do, but it works :)

so in addition to the cli backend, i am thinking of doing a wsdl/soap/rpc 
interface to access ansel remotely and perform the same tasks.  it could then 
be possible to call the ansel soap server with any soap client/application or 
a php script as long as PEAR_SOAP or some other soap library is installed for php.
