Any reason why you don't just create a custom module with a menu hook that executes a print of the data that you need? This is the way I code most of my web service code.
Something like;
function custom_module_menu() {
$items['custom_module'] = array(
'access arguments' => 'access content' // replace this with appropriate drupal security.
'page callback' => 'custom_module_ajax_callback',
'type' => MENU_CALLBACK,
);
return $items;
}
function custom_module_ajax_callback() {
//execute normal drupal statements here
print 'replace this with whatever you want the ajax callback to return';
}
You'd also need a .info file, but that would get you started.

I tried this and also included the define statement for the variable that require_once is using and it errors out including bootstrap.inc.
It needs something else.
thanks for your post, anyone else?
define('DRUPAL_ROOT', getcwd());
require_once DRUPAL_ROOT . '/includes/bootstrap.inc';
drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL);

Just paste these 2 lines in you external file
require_once './includes/bootstrap.inc'; drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL);
these are also included in index.php. These are for D6
