Maybe you should try ccd autopilot. It can drive the sx ao through maxim DL. I am using Sbig ao though.

Ccdap runs unattended all night for me.

The only snag, for me, is that CCDCommander also doesn't support it so I can't fully automate my imaging process. I insert a 'Wait for 30 seconds' step in the action list, start the AO guiding then continue the automation actions. I have to do this for every image and therefore have to be up all night but I'm getting used to it and the virtually perfect tracking is very worth the effort.
