you basically just described zsyncer!
It does an export (in memory) and then uses
xml-rpc to import the stuff on the remote server.

If you're capable of implementing the above, you're certainly capable
of modifying zsyncer to do what you want.  I suspect that 90% of the
work for the feature you want would consist of figuring out how to handle
the UI.  The actual code you need to change will probably be 
a couple of lines. I can try to answer any questions you may have
about the code.
