Yes, in OS X 10.2 you can use Folder Actions but need to activate Folder Actions first before attaching a script to the folder. I would suggest using this script natively in OSX and not relying on passing the call from Classic to OSX as it seems to not want to do that. What about this? The script should be a watched folder script. Instead of deleting the .DS_Store file, why not see if .DS_Store file exists and if it does, find the owning folder of the Temp Incoming folder and then delete the Temp Incoming folder complete. Before deleting the folder the script should check if it contains other files (which it shouldn't). You could bring up a dialog box warning the user to move these other file into a new Temp Incoming folder without opening it and then delete the old one.
