RDCatch won't work for this, specifically because it doesn't handle
variable file names very well. We use Rivendell's dropbox facility instead,
with separate download folders for each program. The dropbox events can
then set to look for a fully generic file name (*.mp3 for example) and not
worry about the messy parts of the file name.
Dropboxes are managed on a per-host basis in RDAdmin.
Note that there are two file mask patterns in a dropbox definition: one for
the location and name of the file to ingest ("Path Spec") and another one
that specifies pieces of information that can be extracted from the file
name ("Metadata Pattern"). The name/location mask can have generic-match
characters in it.
