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

Many Thanks
