Unless someone can help me figure out why I can't keep a folder action

script to start Distiller every so often, and kill distiller when the
in-folder is empty.
Why not use a stay-open script with an idle handler to watch the folder?
One disadvantage that comes to mind with a stay-open script is that
if files/folders remain in the watched folder after script
execution, a tracking mechanism will be required in order to avoid
repeated processing.
So, um, have a pre-process folder...
