Well I've managed to hack it to work.
In kronolith/lib/api.php in function _kronolith_list, add in:
    @define('KRONOLITH_BASE', dirname(__FILE__) . '/..');
    require_once KRONOLITH_BASE . '/lib/base.php';

Then, after the checks for the $startDate and $endDate, simply add:
    $startDate = Kronolith::timestampToObject($startDate);
    $endDate = Kronolith::timestampToObject($endDate);

So that allows one to supply the timestamps and indeed it does work.
I've no idea what else that breaks though... ;)
