10.7: Auto-copy Photo Stream images to a folder
Rather than running a script every 20 seconds, I set up a Folder Action on ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub from within Automator. The only thing in the workflow is a "Run Shell Script" Action with the following contents:
The "sleep" is to give time for the images to finish copying in (I couldn't get the "Wait for Files to Copy" action to work how I wanted). I chose to copy files (without overwriting old ones) but you could use symlinks as well with "ln -s" instead of "cp -n". I found that viewing the ~/Pictures/Photostream/ folder with symlinks in it is less than satisfying since the preview icons are generic link images instead of my images.

The only issue I have with this is that the copied files get the copy-date.. Would like the copied files to keep the <b>original file date</b>
