Funny you should say 'mule'! Have you looked at the Camelbak 'Mule'? With or without the bladder (I dumped mine as soon as I got it home) you have a small, versatile and very comfortable backpack to carry all that you propose.

I use a Mule routinely on my pushbike. It carries my bike tools and pump, spare inner tube, Archos 605 PMP, Gore Paclite rainjacket, gloves, mobile phone, wallet, passport, keys, spectacles, sunglasses, Powermonkey charger and solar panel AND M8, three lenses, Manfrotto tripod, various accessories AND a bar of chocolate. The last item is optional.

If you need to go bigger look seriously at anything from Jack Wolfskin - wonderful stuff.
