This is the bash script I am using to move files from subfolders into the "mother" directory, where I have setup Lightroom to watch for Auto-import. I call this script every minute with cron on my Mac. Please don't ask me how to set this up in detail – if you don't know what you are doing, you might mess things up. Only use this script if you know what you are doing – I do not take responsibility for lost files or whatever. 

In my crontab it looks like this (the Import folder is where Lightroom watches):
* * * * * /Users/mw/Mickes/Photos/Import/movehere.sh

The script "movehere.sh" can be seen here:
