Hello Pete,
 
I have one trick up my sleeve which differs from your solution a bit, the
FTP on the 3000 (with current General Release patch) provides a feature
which will permit a job to be streamed from a remote system.
 
Example:
 
> PUT datafile
> PUT job
> SITE STREAM job
 
The "job" would first process your data (copy it to the database) and
seconded if successful, it could purge the 'datafile'.
 
Have fun with it!
