I haven’t encountered a script or plugin that can do that (include the comments as well), except maybe the default WP DB Backup plugin but since you don’t have access to the hosting account, can’t think of any other way around.

Yuga,

Good idea!

edit:
I have tried that method, however it won’t pull in comments, only posts. I wish to copy comments as well :(

[...] That’s right. When you’re part of a network, most of the time, you have zero access to the nitty gritty (but critical) parts of your blogging platform and hosting server. And what does that mean? Well, if a post over at Workboxers is true, it means that you have no way of getting a backup of your posts when you do want to jump ship. This means that you have to plead, beg and scream in an attempt to get someone who does have access to get things done for you. [...]

Jamsi,

If your new blog also runs WP2, you can use the Import utility to get the posts and comments via RSS.

I’m sure I could Paul, if the plugin was installed …

Not sure calling the host out in public is productive.

Can’t you use one of the backup plugins for WordPress to export your posts instead? Obviously an SQL dump might be better but if you’re having troubles getting that then it might be worth trying other options.
