Note that calibre already has metadata readers/writers available as command line tools that should not bee to hard to interface with. You also need to give users a way of specifying how your program should interpret metadata from file names. This is because, contrary to the impression from this thread, most people actually dont use folder structures at all and just put metadata into structured file names.
