I'm gonna need to go the other way, from Shake to XSI in the upcoming days. I am script savvy for text files and within XSI, but not at all in Shake. Can Shake export curves in a raw array kind of format?

If you're relatively script-savvy it should be pretty short to write out 
the data to a file.
Otherwise you can also do stuff like export raw fcurves to disk, open 
them in Excel, reformat them and open them in to shake channel by channel.

I think there may also be Nuke export script floating around someplace 
that might do the job as well.
