Coda version 5.2 and later use pdbtools:
add user: pdbtool (can read from file)
change coda password: cpasswd (not sure if it can read from file. Try it!)
modify the acls of volumes: cfs (everything is specified as
command-line arguments)
Just in case you don't know, there is a mini-howto on pdbtool
http://coda.cs.cmu.edu/doc/html/pdbtool-mini-howto.html
Also, pdbtool, cpasswd, and cfs all have man pages.
Hope this helps.
