not an answer to your question, but maybe another numbering scheme would 
help:

I recommend [date:yyyyMMdd-hhmmss]-####.[ext]{lower}

This way, you'll get reliable and sortable image names. The number at the 
end starts at 0 for each import and allows naming (and sorting) of images 
that were shot in the same second.

HTH,
