As it is a shared server, users do not have SA access, as that would be a big security issue. They only have access to their own DB.

I just finished up a project yesterday doing the exact same thing - do a search on "DTS" in the archives to see all my questions about it. It isn't the easiest thing in the world to set up and get all the pieces running, but once you do,it is about 2000X faster than using CF. Of course, you need to be running SQL Server 7+ to be able to take advantage of it. So, the first question is, what flavor DB are you running?
