Como configurar um script de observação para manter o registro do que acontece em um diretório
Como mencionado nos comentários, você não pode "interceptar" comandos de copiar ou mover, a menos que você os execute no terminal e use o comando script para registrar o que está acontecendo.
Você pode no entanto ficar de olho no que acontece dentro de um diretório, com inotifywait
Script inotifywait básico para manter o registro de seu diretório
Um script simples seria:
#!/bin/bash
DIR="/path/to/directory/to/watch"
inotifywait -m -r -e move -e create "$DIR" | while read f
do
# remove 'echo changed' after the test
echo changed
echo $f >> /path/to/logfile.txt
done
Basta definir os caminhos para o diretório no script, salvá-lo como some_script.sh e executá-lo. Mais avançado seria, naturalmente, para marcar os eventos do tempo, analisar a saída, etc., mas essa é a idéia principal. Em vez de "ecoar" a saída, você poderia usar a opção -o , veja man inotifywait .
Explicação
Para logar continuamente, você precisa definir a opção -m :
de man inotifywait :
-m, --monitor
Instead of exiting after receiving a single event, execute indefinitely. The default behaviour is to exit after the first event occurs.
Para registrar recursivamente, você precisa definir a opção -r :
-r, --recursive
Watch all subdirectories of any directories passed as arguments. Watches will be set up recursively to an unlimited depth. Symbolic links are not traversed. Newly created subdirectories will also be watched.
Além disso, você precisa especificar evento (s) para acionar:
EVENTS
The following events are valid for use with the -e option:
access A watched file or a file within a watched directory was read
from.
modify A watched file or a file within a watched directory was written
to.
attrib The metadata of a watched file or a file within a watched direc‐
tory was modified. This includes timestamps, file permissions,
extended attributes etc.
close_write
A watched file or a file within a watched directory was closed,
after being opened in writeable mode. This does not necessarily
imply the file was written to.
close_nowrite
A watched file or a file within a watched directory was closed,
after being opened in read-only mode.
close A watched file or a file within a watched directory was closed,
regardless of how it was opened. Note that this is actually
implemented simply by listening for both close_write and
close_nowrite, hence all close events received will be output as
one of these, not CLOSE.
open A watched file or a file within a watched directory was opened.
moved_to
A file or directory was moved into a watched directory. This
event occurs even if the file is simply moved from and to the
same directory.
moved_from
A file or directory was moved from a watched directory. This
event occurs even if the file is simply moved from and to the
same directory.
move A file or directory was moved from or to a watched directory.
Note that this is actually implemented simply by listening for
both moved_to and moved_from, hence all close events received
will be output as one or both of these, not MOVE.
move_self
A watched file or directory was moved. After this event, the
file or directory is no longer being watched.
create A file or directory was created within a watched directory.
delete A file or directory within a watched directory was deleted.
delete_self
A watched file or directory was deleted. After this event the
file or directory is no longer being watched. Note that this
event can occur even if it is not explicitly being listened for.
unmount
The filesystem on which a watched file or directory resides was
unmounted. After this event the file or directory is no longer
being watched. Note that this event can occur even if it is not
explicitly being listened to.
Você precisa preceder cada um dos seus eventos, para ser acionado, com -e :
-e move -e create
É claro que você pode definir qualquer acionador de evento na lista.

Um pequeno teste do meu script de exibição nos dá uma saída como:
/home/jacob/Bureaublad/test/Untitled Folder/ MOVED_FROM CV.pdf
/home/jacob/Bureaublad/test/Untitled Folder/ MOVED_TO CV.pdf
/home/jacob/Bureaublad/test/Untitled Folder/ MOVED_TO pscript_3.py
/home/jacob/Bureaublad/test/Untitled Folder/ MOVED_TO,ISDIR numpy
/home/jacob/Bureaublad/test/Untitled Folder/ CREATE Untitled Document 3
