It does not seem difficult...

1st we can create a /etc/hotplug/usb.ext_scripts (containing the names of 
programs we have to call) an then execute it line by line from usb.agent.

We can also use something like this

$SCRIPT plugged
$SCRIPT nodriver
$SCRIPT unplugged
$SCRIPT ok

so $1 in your script is the exit status of the various operation done by 
hotplug script.

Btw I think the devfs approach is better...
