It might be easier to set up the dropbox in rdadmin .... tick the box saying "Delete source files on import". Sometimes rdimport may have problems deleting a file if it is owned by someone else. Eg Rivendell runs as user "bob" but the files get copied via a samba or nfs share as user "guest". You might have to change ownership of the directory (dropbox) to 666 either by right clicking on the folder in nautilus or using the command line
