Automator workflows as Folder Actions
I want to create an automator workflow that I can attach as a folder action via the "save as plug-in --> folder action" item. All I want the workflow to do is watch the folder for any PDF files being saved to it and when it comes across one it appends a specific string to the "Spotlight Comments" field.
How do I make this work?

Comments
I created an automator action that successfully can search for PDF's in a certain directory and tag them successfully with the spotlight comment I want.
Saving an automator action as a "folder action", it is supposed to run every time a file is added to the folder you attach it to. In fact, it does run. The problem...
It doesn't do anything. I wonder if this is a bug.
Or post the action and we'll take a look.
I was just curious if anyone else had trouble with Automator and folder actions not working correctly.
