Make sure you check the latest listing of Scripter commands at:
http://www.yarpen.cz/scripter-docs/scribus_scribus.html I see that there is a 'savePageAsEPS()' command, so theoretically you might be able to write the script to convert to EPS, then figure out a batch command for ImageMagick to convert to PNG. Petr would of course be the definitive source for this. Greg Pittman
