MJ,
MarcEdit has several conversion options including MARC to MODS. I don't know how well it works but it does a lot of other things well.

MJ, have you tried using yaz-marcdump [1], which comes with the yaz toolkit [2] ?
You can invoke that from the command line to convert your MARC to MARC-XML. And then use XSLT to get the MARC-XML to MODS.
Easy enough to then put that all in a script in the language of your choice to automate the whole thing.
