So you have to monitor your logs for hotlinkers? Isn't the point of the script to eliminate that need? And it would be trivially easy to write a script that follows all the Location redirects so any time you changed the directory, I could auto-change my links as well.
My point is, security through obscurity is not really security. Better to design the thing right the first time and not have to touch it again.
