Was looking for a solution to the same problem, but this
thread derouted quickly into scripting maneuvers ;-)

Actually the path to use is not so straightforward:

tx set --auto-remote
https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/xfce/r/all-resources/

Then:

tx pull -l [xx]

At least this created a directory structure with all the .po
files for my language.

Hope this helps someone.
