I'm looking at the API and it's really confusing.
I should be able to set the bitcoin address using setaddress, but I have no idea how accounts work. Can I omit the account and just specify a bitcoin address?
Would the following make sense in node-bitcoin?
var myBitCoinAddress = "abc1234567890qwertyQWERTY";
client.setAddress(myBitcoinAddress);
setaddress is used to associate a bitcoin address (either one you got from another person or one you generated with getnewaddress) with an account, so no, you can't leave off the account.
What are you trying to do?
I have the Bitcoin GUI working and I want to use my wallet for bitcoind as well so that I can mine in the background. I want to associate bitcoind with my preexisting Bitcoin address / account / wallet, whatever that means.

When you run bitcoind <command>, it sends <command> to the running Bitcoin GUI process.
So you don't need to associate bitcoind with your preexisting stuff.
I do want to associate bitcoind with my wallet, because I want to connect to a remote bitcoind, e.g., on a web server away from my desktop.

bitcoind -connect=web.server.ip -rpcuser=... -rpcpassword=... getinfo
... will connect to the server, send it the 'getinfo' command, and print the result. The server will have to have it's RPC port open and will have to have your desktop's IP address in it's bitcoin.conf ( rpcallowip=desktop.ip.address ).
Wallets are tightly connected to bitcoind's, there isn't a way of 'associating' a wallet and a particular bitcoind.
How would I send all the bitcoins generated by one bitcoind instance's wallet to another bitcoind instance's wallet?
