When importing this book automatically I want to auto-add the categories 'sysadmin', 'linux' and 'dns'. Another example: The book 'stranger in a strange land.txt' is located in 'c:\books\fiction\english\heinlein'. And here I want the categories 'fiction', 'english' and 'heinlein'. I know that heinlein must be the name of the author. But that comes later because I can't get metadata from a txt-file. I can live - for some time - with author = unknown as long as I have the category 'heinlein'.
How do I have to set up the import process to achieve this?

Path structure to metadata can not be done automatically.
If your scripting skills are up to it
, The CLI (see the Help pages) may work for you
If you add from small segments of the paths: you might set the 'Tags To Apply' (preferences: Adding Books) each time you add that group
