I hand-rolled a similar script, and my wife and I both use it. However, I group photographs in directories by days, rather than changing the filename. I always keep raw camera photographs, and may also keep composites, crops or resizes in the same directory.

My script does everything from mount the flashcard, copy and organize the photos, make a simple contact-sheet HTML index page, remove successfully copied items from the flashcard, and unmount. As usb-storage becomes more stable (many devices seem to have restart problems), I'll make a small daemon that watches every few seconds for mountable flashcards to make the whole process hands-free.
