You have some functions that can work remotely over the web/json interface but there are parts that must have access to the instance filesystem. If there were a service add-in that could be called through the web/json interface you could possibly just command the service install to do those local operations you need in some functions.
There are likely details that I'm not aware of that may prevent such a configuration. And maybe it is best that some of the evolution of this processing become native to XBMC.
Great stuff and again thank you!
The majority of operations can now be performed entirely remotely. Gotham has added a JSON API for the texture database which means it is no longer necessary to have direct access to the userdata folder when pruning and caching. The only options that still require direct access are those that involve walking the thumbnails folder or checking if a particular thumbnail file exists (r/R, f, X, Xd etc.). If/when JSON Files.GetDirectory() adds support for the contents of the thumbnails folder, all operations will be possible remotely.
