This works great thank you. It also fixes the issue I was having about
having the session UUID displayed on the list of processes during the
import.

Just for future reference to others facing the same issue, here's a
complete example of image file import as an omero script:

    import omero.scripts
    import omero.cli

    client = omero.scripts.client("test.py")

    router = client.getProperty("Ice.Default.Router")
    router = client.getCommunicator().stringToProxy(router)
    for endpoint in router.ice_getEndpoints():
      client.ic.getProperties().setProperty("omero.host",
endpoint.getInfo().host)
      break
    else:
      raise Exception("no host configuration found")

    cli = omero.cli.CLI()
    cli.loadplugins()
    cli._client = c.createClient(secure = True)
    cli.invoke(["import", path_to_image_file])
