If you have to script it, I'd be inclined to just grab a scripting language with inotify functionality. Personally, I use Pike, but it's not in the Wheezy repos (although there does seem to be a pike7.8 in wheezy-backports); there's also Python, with python-pyinotify (or python-inotifyx, but I haven't that one). I could shoot you some pyinotify code that I use here; it watches a directory tree, and any time something's added, appends a date-stamped line to a file. If there's a way to add to the current playlist on the fly (which can be done with VLC I *think*??), this code would be about half of what you need.
