Automatic P2 mount/download/erase at DVinfo.net

With Automator in OSX :
it should be feasable to set your laptop to
1) Detect the presence of P2
2) Immediately download the files to a specific File/Drive
3) then Erase the P2 card

Allowing you to simply Put the P2 in the slot of a PB and keep recording (without having to manually download/Save/Erase)
This will allow you to dump each card between shots very easily, while you continue record on another...
Unloading like this, this when a card is less than full, could allow for continuous recording

Sorry this went so long without a reply... so, does this procedure work?
