Here is how I might try to do it:

TURN CAMERA LEFT 90
MOVE CAMERA 0.2
TURN CAMERA RIGHT 90
SYNC

and to go right just reverse the above.
That way you don't have to worry about camerq co-ordinates
Let me know if it works pls, always useful to know little snippets like this - especially if they do work.
Yours

Or something like this:

left:
cx#=newxvalue(camera position x(),wrapvalue(camera angle y()-90),10)
cz#=newzvalue(camera position z(),wrapvalue(camera angle y()-90),10)
position camera cx#,camera position y(), cz#

right:
cx#=newxvalue(camera position x(),wrapvalue(camera angle y()+90),10)
cz#=newzvalue(camera position z(),wrapvalue(camera angle y()+90),10)
position camera cx#,camera position y(), cz#

...it should work.
