Well, with one of the handy "rename" utilities that let you generate
the new filename via arbitrary regex-fu on the old one, this is a
shellscript one-liner, something like this:

do shell script "rename 's," + quoted form of posix path of
sourceFolder + "/([^/]*)/(.*),"  + quoted form of posix path of
targetFolder + "/${1}_$2,' " + quoted form of posix path of
sourceFolder + "/*/*"

But since no such utility comes standard with OS X, a shellscript
solution would be longer, and so the best solution is probably to
stick with Finder scripting rather than the shell.

Unfortunately I can't even figure out how to get the Finder to give me
the contents of a folder, so I'll shut up and let someone else address
that part...

For example, let's say we have these files:

Source/0001/Image1.jpg
Source/0001/Image2.jpg
Source/0001/Image3.jpg
Source/0001/Image4.jpg
Source/0002/Image1.jpg
Source/0002/Image2.jpg
Source/0002/Image3.jpg
Source/0002/Image4.jpg
Source/0003/Image1.jpg
Source/0003/Image2.jpg
Source/0003/Image3.jpg
Source/0003/Image4.jpg

They we be renames and moved to a FOLDER called TARGET:

Target/0001_Image1.jpg
Target/0001_Image2.jpg
Target/0001_Image3.jpg
Target/0001_Image4.jpg
Target/0002_Image1.jpg
Target/0002_Image2.jpg
Target/0002_Image3.jpg
Target/0002_Image4.jpg
Target/0003_Image1.jpg
Target/0003_Image2.jpg
Target/0003_Image3.jpg
Target/0003_Image4.jpg

That's the result I need.

Any help would be appreciated ;-)
