Trying to setup an automated system to backup kindle...

Most of the books/docs on my kindle are not from Amazon (and therefore not archived by Amazon), so I made a batch file that copies any newly added files on my kindle (latest-gen) to a folder on my WinXP PC - (this works fine, the batch file is in the root of my kindle and runs from there without a problem) - but when I tried to automate it (so that the batch file runs whenever I plug in my Kindle to USB) by creating an autorun.inf file tht calls the batch file - - when I tried to copy the autorun.inf to the root of my K3 it just tells me Access Denied (error copying, disk full, etc...)

Does anyone here know why that would be? I've read somewhere that the system files partition of the Kindle doesn't even get mounted when you plug it into a computer via USB - I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it???

The attached zip file has the autorun and batch files if anyone is interested...
