Backup file to phone via Bluetooth Object Push Automater action

It's possible to make an Automator action that takes a file and sends it to a mobile using Bluetooth.

points to this file which can be loaded into Automator (open Automator and on the file mene, choose Import Action...)

Unfortunately the phone (Sony Ericsson W880i asks for confirmation.

However, it is possible to just run this automator action and back up files wirelessly. I'm using this with a TrueCrypt volume which holds passwords, so it can be easily backed up.

Somewhere I remember having a program that would detect a bluetooth device coming in range and would run a script.
