Thanks for the responses everyone! I am on Windows using DOS, sorry should have said that from the beginning. I just tried it using Cygwin and now it says 'No such datastore: gv,roads'. So I'm guessing that is further than I was before!
Basically the end goal is to be able to automate the creation of many feature types and this seems like the best way. The tool I'm planning on writing is going to be in Java so that it can run anywhere but if cURL is not platform independent that may be a problem.
