vcardexporter is accessible through the Contacts GUI, right? I forgot about that, thank you for the tip!

Yes, of course, I used the app from the Settings menu.

As for your sophisticated solution, it would certainly be very useful if for nothing else then for learning Linux, but I need to reflash my phone first. BTW do you run the scripts/programs directly on N9 (using cron or something) or is it initiated by a computer which connects to the phone through SSH?
