As far as where to put the files, I think you can put them anywhere so long at the path to the mage.php file is correct on line 2 of the processupdates.php, but to be safe I would put them in the root folder of your magento install. In regards to Cron Jobs, you can read more about them <a href="http://www.webmasters-central.com/article-blog/tutorials/cron-tutorial-managing-cron-tab-or-cron-job-is-easy/" rel="nofollow">here</a>.

W3C have a pretty good primer on Xpath here.

I’d say its just a matter of using the right syntax to access the value you are looking for.

In regards to the T_VARIABLE error, that usually happens when you have left out a closing curly bracket in your code.
