My app watches a folder using FSEvents to see when files are added to it and then uploads those files to a server. It's kind of like a hot folder. The issue is that when users are copying large files, especially from a network drive, the upload will begin before the file has been completely written to the disk.
Apple's Folder Actions feature runs into this issue too. I suspect they use a heuristic like waiting for the file's mod date and size to stop changing for a few seconds, but I'm not sure.
You should ask on the darwin-userlevel or darwin-dev lists, where the real Unix graybeards hang out.
