The advanced scheduling worked great in 5.3 for this problem. I did note that the thread would automatically look for a file whenever it was bounced. Also, the specified ftp directory needs to be relative to the ftp ftp server root of the user that is logging in to the system. Another problem I noted was that the thread would go into an error state if it tried to parse a completely empty directory. To resove that problem I placed some dummy files in the directory and added a tps directory parse script to ignore the dummy files.
