Follow this up in Hazel with a "move to folder" and "growl notification" and I think it is a pretty elegant solution. I could have done the whole thing with folder actions, but i find that they are pretty unreliable at times. Not to mention that I need to maintain the code if I decide to change the workflow. It's not worth the effort.
I hope this helps someone else. I guess I will go and buy Hazel now.
