Hi Rich.

Have a look at https://github.com/s7eph4n/SimpleBatchUpload.

It's an extension, not a script, but it was developed with exactly your use 
case in mind. It provides a Special page for uploading multiple files to 
MediaWiki and setting a standard template call as the wikitext of the uploaded 
file's page. That template could then set your properties or a category.
(You will need to use the development version to get the full functionality.)

Cheers
Stephan
