Overriding project server and database via command line

I am setting up a continuous integration process, which will synchronise my test database with any changes made to SubVersion (via SQL Source Control).
I've created SQL Compare and SQL Data Compare projects with settings and tables/columns selected to my liking for this process, however these projects are tied to specific servers and databases.
Is there a way of using these projects (as it's the settings and mappings that are important) via the command line and being able to override the actual server and databases used in the comparison?
That way I don't have to have separate projects files for each physical server, just one that defines the structure that I can use on any server via the command line.
NOTE: I tried using the "/project" switch with "/server1", "/database1", etc and it still uses the server and database specified in the project file.

If you create a dummy scripts folder (maybe of a blank database?) and use that instead of using a non-existent folder, it might just work. Could you try that?
