Apparently this is a frequently occurring need (and I was glad to learn
that it finally has an "official" solution in FAI 4.0). Here is my take
at this problem:

I install the basefiles under ~fai/basefiles (you need to create this
directory, or use any other location readable to user "fai") and then
have the following one-line hooks as extrbase.MYCLASS :

scp fai at faiserver:basefiles/MYCLASS.tar.gz /var/lib/fai/config/basefiles

This makes use of the fact that user "root" is granted passwordless
access to the "fai" account on the FAI server.
