I've done something with a similar goal as yours with this script:

#!/bin/bash

BUS=/usr/lib64/qt4/bin

killall tellico
dir=$HOME/Perso/Data
# Looping on all my collection files
for i in Disques BD DVD Livres Partitions; do
	tellico $dir/$i.tc& 2>&1 > /dev/null
	sleep 5
	$BUS/qdbus org.kde.tellico /Tellico org.kde.tellico.exportCSV $dir/$i.csv
	$BUS/qdbus org.kde.tellico /Tellico org.kde.tellico.exportHTML $dir/$i.html
	chmod 755 $dir/$i*_files
	chmod 644 $dir/$i.html $dir/$i*_files/*.*
	chmod 755 $dir/$i*_files/pics
	killall tellico
done

Note that this script can only be run when KDE is running. So that
prevents its usage with cron (at least I've not found a way to make it
work up to now from cron).

Any other feedback welcome !
Bruno.
