Hello... I am just starting to use Hazel, so forgive the newbieness...

I have DevonThink at Home and at work (using separate DBs), I am trying to use Hazel to accomplish the following:

1. Watch the desktop & downloads folder of my work Mac
2. Copy any PDFs added to my Desktop or Downloads folder to these two folders:
--- > DevonThinks local Inbox
--- > ~/DropBox/DevonThink Home
3. Then once copied delete the original on the desktop and or downloads folder.

Then at home, I will have Hazel watch ~/Dropbox/DevonThink Home and move a copy into the Local Db there.

Any help is appreciated =)

Why not do a move then a copy? A move is basically a copy then a delete. So move it to one folder, then copy it from there to the next.
