The code is simple, except apparently the crop command doesn't work on file-based image objects.  How do I manipulate the file-based image to allow for the crop command?

You probably have to import each image into a stack, crop the thing, and 
export it again.

Yup; I know that doesn't really answer your question as you probably 
want to avoid that
import-export dance, however I do think that that is probably unavoidable.
