Hi,

you could use a folder action like this

property destFolder : "MacHD:path:to:destination:folder:"
property deleteOriginals : false -- set to true to delete original files

on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items
	try
		tell application "DropStuff"
			stuff these_items format StuffIt delete originals deleteOriginals to (destFolder as alias)
		end tell
	end try
end adding folder items to

specify the path to the destination folder and the boolean value to delete or keep the original files,
save the script in (~)/Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts/, enable folder actions and attach the script to a folder.

Note: There could be a problem, if the hot folder is on a server and several users put files into the folder at the same time
