I'm not entirely sure what your problem is from your description, but it sounds like you're running into the issue of having nodes with the same name parented under different objects. Are you getting an error like:

// Error: line 1: More than one object matches name: whatever// ?

what command are you using to list the curves? You may be able to use the flag to get the long names, for example, with ls it's
-l
which causes the command to return full path names. Most commands which return lists of objects offer the option of returning full path names. I'll check back and see if this helped.
