I do pretty much the same as you, except I automate it all through hotplug so 
that just plugging my camera's USB cable into my laptop (and turning on the 
camera) does it all automagically.

To do it I created (actually copied and tweaked, but whatever) a file 
in /etc/hotplug/usb.  The file is called "usbcam" and contains:

- ----------cut here---------------
GROUP=camera
if [ "${ACTION}" = "add" ] && [ -f "${DEVICE}" ]
then
    chmod o-rwx "${DEVICE}"
    chgrp "${GROUP}" "${DEVICE}"
    chmod g+rw "${DEVICE}"
    sudo -u shawn /home/shawn/bin/got_camera.sh
fi
- ---------cut here----------------

Most of this is what you probably already have to make it possible to access 
your camera with gphoto2, the only difference is the line that invokes the 
"got_camera.sh" script.

My got_camera.sh script is also very simple:

- --------cut here-----------------
#!/bin/sh
cd /home/shawn/Personal/pics/new
gphoto2 -P && gphoto2 -D
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
        artsplay /usr/share/sounds/photo_success.wav
else
        artsplay /usr/share/sounds/photo_error.wav
fi

SCRIPTDIR=/home/shawn/Personal/pics/scripts/
$SCRIPTDIR/resizeforslides.sh
$SCRIPTDIR/relocatepics.sh
$SCRIPTDIR/resizemove.sh
- -------cut here--------------------

The other scripts at the ends do some other operations... do whatever you 
want.  The nifty bit is that it's all kicked off by hotplug, so it all 
happens just by plugging in the camera.

There are lots of ways this can be improved, obviously.

 Shawn.
