Alrighty, time for the stupid questions:
First, why does it request access to the mt-xmlrpc.cgi file on my Movable Type install? I have never used that file before, and I have absolutely no idea what it does.
Second, apparently my version of the file is broken. What do I do to fix it, or what did I do wrong?
Thanks!

It requests the mt-xmlrpc.cgi file because that is the file that allows third party applications like Stuffr to communicate with it.
Using Movable Type, you will have to set your “web services” password in order for Stuffr to work with it.

And now I demonstrate my true stupdity - how on Earth do I do that?

On the main screen of your MT administration screen, click AUTHORS and click the user you want edited, you will see WEB SERVICES PASSWORD under the password section.

Never mind, I am daft, dumb, and stupid. For my fellow MovableTypers who are in similar states of idiocy, at the main menu when you first log in, click on the Author button (on the right, second from the top), then click on the appropriate username, and then scroll all the way to the bottom. The password you need to fill in should be the last textbox.
Thanks for your help, Slobokan!

And, on top of being dumb, I am six minutes late. Shows me for not refreshing before I post :P.

Hang in there, it only gets better from this point on.

Indeed it does. That is an outstanding little program you have put together there, Slobokan. Certainly makes life a load easier and more efficient.
However, a single, solitary suggestion: it would be just great if it could auto-discover trackbacks and ping appropriately, so us lazy types do not forget to add the trackback ping address before we post… just a thought ;).

I will add that to the “wish list”.
