I have a script that doesn't quite do this, but can easily be modified to do 
so. The purpose of my script is to run through a Koha database and, using the 
ISBN, merge or replace the data in Koha with the data from the Z39.50 source.

The script I have is the 'merge-in-z3950.pl' that can be found in the Catalyst 
public git repository, in the pnf_import branch, or via http is at:
http://git.catalyst.net.nz/gw?p=koha.git;a=tree;f=import;h=aad6d2327623363e97c80af9b17f82aa05c6ea07;hb=refs/heads/pnf_import

It should be a fairly easy task for someone with Perl knowledge to add an 
option to read a file containing ISBN numbers.
