I wasn't familiar with org-attach. Seeing the gist of it, and with dir
creation handled, what about updating org-agenda-files with the new
files (script or something), or just defining a top level dir to
search:
- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11384516/how-to-make-all-org-files-under-a-folder-added-in-agenda-list-automatically

If this could be done, a file tag matching the directory name could
perhaps be used. Or just match the file name to something related to
the customer/user (in my standard agenda search you just see the name
of the file and the tags, not the parent dir name).

Just an idea.
