When I right click the raster catalog and click "load", A new window "Raster To Geodatabase (multiple)" pop up. Is this what you mean?
I currently have over 4000 .tif raster data that have to be loaded into a SDE Raster Catalog in ArcGIS 9.3.1. I had been manually uploading 1800 in batches using the Raster to Geodatabase (multiple) tools.
The Workspace To Raster Catalog tool will batch-load a whole folder of .tif files into your raster catalog.
If what you truly want to make a single ArcSDE raster dataset, it is fairly straightforward to convert the entire raster catalog to a geodatabase raster -- a lot easier than trying to individually load thousands of rasters.

This sample tool is designed to create your catalog and load it up in a single step. This may be your best option:
Workspace to New Raster Catalog (Samples)
I got this command line to run. But the .tifs failed to load into the SDE Raster Catalog.
