Add static header row to data loader command line interface export file?

Hi,

I'm looking to use data loader's command line interface to run a nightly export from Salesforce to upload to an FTP site. The recieving server requires that a header row on the CSV file be included that defines the import settings. 

The resulting file needss to read in excel as:

row 1: "Import Version - 6" ,  ID = 1234
Row 2: Column header 1 , Column header 2, column header 3... column header n
Row 3: Begin data

Is it possible to add in that static first row using the Data Loader's CLI? If so, how would one do that. If not, any suggestions?
 

Thanks!
