Is this the right program for me?

Okay, here is my situation. I have an archive folder that is f:\Archived TV. In this folder I store various TV shows in the structure SeriesName\Season ##\Episode##-EpisodeTitle.xxx. These are shows I keep for an indefinite amount of time, sometimes only weeks other times maybe forever. I move shows to this folder after I have either recorded them from SageTV or downloaded them form a torrent. Both SageTV and downloaded torrents do not have a great file naming structure. So to fit in with my current collection (stored in f:\Archived TV) I need to rename these new incoming shows properly and move them to their proper location within the archive folder. I do not need to rename files already in the archive folder (F:\Archived TV\) as they are already properly organized and named. I just need to rename and move the new incoming files in my temp directories. I am wanting something that can either monitor my temp folders and do this automatically when new files appear in them, or something with a command line or windows messaging interface that I can trigger with another application that monitors the temp folders.

For the torrents no problem. Most torrents have seasion and eppesode info in some format.

I am not familure enough with SageTV to say, but TVRename would need to be able to find the season and Eppisode info from the file name. If you can get Sage TV to store that in the file name somewhere then TVRename can parce that via REGEX and move the file over. If not then you will eather have to insert another stepp to get that info into the file name or manulay handle the SageTV files.
