The ke-recv daemon does the auto-mounting using the /usr/sbin/osso-mmc-
mount.sh (which is also used for memory cards) shell script. You could
modify the script so that you execute your autoPicturesImport.sh if a
file system was mounted over USB by osso-mmc-mount.sh. You can see those
from the mount point argument, which is prefixed with "/media/usb" when
such a file system is about to be mounted.
