Automatic digital camera capture

Hi,
I have got an idea what to use my Bubba for. The idea was inspired by this great tip:
http://forum.excito.net/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1609
I would like to have this feature:
When I connect my memorycard from my digital camera this should happen:
1. Automatic connect(mount) the drive, I connect for example a SD card via an USB memory card reader.
2. Depending on what memery card I inserted, a copy if certain files (for examples JPG, AVI, NEF etc) should be copied to preset directories.
3. The drive should then be automatically unmounted, ready to remove from the usb reader.
4. An e-mail should be sent to bubba itself with a report of the copy process. I have an Nokia phone connected to Bubbas e-mail system via IMAP and would then instantly get an email with the result. If I see that the copy operation was sucessfull, I could remove the SD card, insert it into my camera again and format it.
The big benefit is that I don't need to start my PC to copy the files manually. Bubba would do it automatically.
Whould that be possible to do? I'm not a Linux expert, but is thinking of making a try.
