Hey Seth,

I concur with Robert: write a script that deletes the previous load of
cuts in the cart. Then set the script up in either cron or rdcatch to
fire just before the files show up in the dropbox (I assume you mean a
Rivendell dropbox, and not the commercial cloud service Dropbox).

I'm actually about to embark on writing such a script for a couple
clients. I'd be happy to share it with you when I get it far enough along...

Hope this helps!
