This is still rather crude though, as it doesn't check at all which brand of camera has been mounted (if it's even a camera). That's something which udev supports rather trivially, which is why I was hoping to work that route.
If anybody has any further thoughts on that, I'd still be interested to see them!
In the mean time, thanks for the advice. I should be on my way now!!
Best regards,

mean string comparison is not so hard :)
ke-recv uses libhal and the HAL daemon. HAL is based on sysfs and udev
