Hmmm...thoughts on the following?

1.  Run a SSH server on each Windows station
2.  Upload Cygwin's Find program and needed DLLs
3.  Schedule an AT command on the Windows station (remotely through the 
SSH connection) to look, using find, for the file extensons you're looking 
for and output results to a file. 
4.  Use smbclient to retrieve the output file.
5.  Reschedule the AT command.
