Hi! An interesting solution. I might actually use it for an initial data import into TW (using Excel so far :D). However, regenerating the list each time seems kinda bothersome and requires generating a list outside of TW. Then again, you're adding files, so I see how it might actually be efficient, at least for initial list.
Anyway, if you are interested in learning more about TW databases/ lists, here are a couple of different solutions: http://www.strm.us/tw/cigars http://baggr.tiddlyspot.com/ http://tiddlymarks.tiddlyspot.com/ There are plenty others, but these are off the top of my head. If you decide to play around, you could use FileDropPlugin (1) for quickly adding movies to TW database and ForEachTiddlerPlugin (2) for creating lists (or just the default list macro :D).
