I have a hack for SAMBA (most recently done for 3.0.20) which is based
on the "magic script" feature. It permits to define a script which does
whatever you want for each file dropped in via SMB, and the script start
is triggered by closing the dropped-in file.
If you are interested, I could send you a diff for the affected SAMBA
module.
