You can look at http://codaset.com/jens-riboe/droidatscreen/wiki (with a write up at http://blog.ribomation.com/2010/01/droidscreen/): this is a Java library that uses adb to capture a screen shots. I've been able to (with a lot of elbow grease) modify the source to let me automatically capture a timed series of screen shots (which I use for demo videos).

You can see the class structure at http://pastebin.com/hX5rQsSR

EDIT: You'd invoke it (after bundling all the requirements) like this:

java -cp DroidScreen.jar --adb "" --device "" --prefix "" --interval
