Since the entire post describes the problem clearly, the solution to 
this is described in one of my earlier posts in GLUG-BOM. The idea 
described by Mehul Ved is one that I followed quite some time ago. 
It also has a script (open source code ;) ) that you can use / 
re-distribute / modify for your own needs. However, note, it is assumed 
that all your photos are in the same directory (one 'foo' directory). 

The link to that post is:

Hope, that helps.
