Crazy Scripting Help

Question

I’ve created a group of 40 different icons (telephone, star, diamond, etc.) and I need to apply 150 colors to each one of those icons then save each icon individually as a PNG with a filename of <ICONNAME-COLORNAME.png>. Those 150 colors have already been defined with individual custom color names within a color group I created called “MyColors.”
I’ve figured out the PNG export part of the javascript (and that script is available all over the place) but my scripting skills suck and I’m not sure what I need to do to get this done. I’ve read the Illustrator Scripting Guide (I got lost pretty quick) and I’ve done some searching for scripts but without any luck. I was thinking that the best way to approach this was to put each of the different icons (telephone, star, diamond, etc.) on a single layer, each within a different illustrator file and then run the script on each file to automatically generate the colors and layers I need within each file. I could then run a PNG export script against each file. Or is there a better way to create these PNGs?
I know it’s a lot to ask and I hate to ask it, but I’ll lose my mind if I have to do this by hand. Can anyone help me with this scripting? I’d be happy to throw a few bucks your way (or donate them to the charity of your choice)!
I'm on Illustrator CS5/CS6 ...

So I got this far but the layer objects aren't duplicating. Any ideas?
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
with (docRef) {
var grp = swatchGroups.getByName('Rob');
for (var i = 0; i < swatchGroups.length; i++) {
    if (swatchGroups[i].name == 'Rob') {
        grp = swatchGroups[i];
var grpList = grp.getAllSwatches();
//var sw = grpList[55];
var originalLayerLength = layers.length;
for (var i = 0; i < originalLayerLength; i++) {
var oldLayer = layers[i];
oldLayer.name = oldLayer.name;
oldLayer.visible = true;
    for (var j = 0; j < grpList.length; j++) {
        var nLayer = layers.add();
        nLayer.name = oldLayer.name + '-' + grpList[j].name;
        nLayer.visible = true;
        for (var k = 0; k < oldLayer.pathItems; k++) {
            oldLayer.pathItems[k].duplicate(nLayer,
ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING);
        for (var k = 0; k < nLayer.pathItems.length; k++) {
            nLayer.pathItems[k].selected = true;
            nLayer.pathItems[k].fillColor = grpList.color;
   for(var i = 0; i < pathItems.length; i++) {
    pathItems[i].selected = true;
        pathItems[i].fillColor = sw.color;
