Unfortunately, amrecover is not script-friendly. I think your options
are:
* use some Expect-like tool
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expect
  http://search.cpan.org/~rgiersig/Expect/Expect.pod
* write a script using amfetchdump or amrestore to fetch images and then
extract them

A rewrite of amrecover in Perl is expected "sometime", but I don't think
it will happen for a while because a good number of pieces it needs also
need to be Perl-ified. What sort of interface would be convenient for
you? Would you be willing to do some of the coding for this?
