Freehand perhaps?  (I believe Freehand MXa had basic SVG Tiny export but I
an expensive upgrade is unlikely to be an option)

Adobe supports and promotes XMP for metadata.  The last step of going
through Inkscape - although appreciated - should not be necessary at all.
Even if you have an older version of Adobe Illustrator I think there may
be some Adobe or 3rd party utilities for adding XMP to your files.

Alternatively you should be able to import the EPS into Inkscape without
needing the Adobe Illustrator step.  There may be bugs I am unaware of (or
some extension trickery not enabled on your platform) but Inkscape should
be able to import your EPS.

I believe a few such scripts exist already (at least one in Perl, a shell
script, and I think a script in Python) but I'm not great at memorising
these things and the inkscape user mailing list is by far the best place
to ask.
