After trying a couple other programs that didn't quite make it I pushing them toward the simple route. I wrote a little snippet to extract the files and volume data and write to an access database. My code is launched by an autoplay handler. They're comfortable with access so messing with dupes, categories, etc. will be familiar.
Still have to script the installer but this should keep my junk to a minimum.
Famous last words.
