Need an Idea

What I'm trying to do is make a folder distinguished from another folder so that I can later determine type of job inside of it. In this manufacturing environment, an artist creates different files depending on the process of the job. There are 10 different processes and sometimes artists forget to make a file for a particular process which stalls production. I am building a script that will run at end of workday to verify all files were made depending on process. I need a way to mark the folder in such a way to later determine process of job to know what files should be in it. I can't change the folder name. I thought about using the comments pane in the folder info... this seemed simple enough.

tell application "Finder"
	set comment of folder PathToFolder to MyProcess
end tell


tell application "Finder" set MyProcess to get comment of folder PathToFolder end tell

Then I realized this comment is local and isn't seen on another machine. (All artists work there jobs on a server.) Dismount the pc server and comments are lost. Can comments be saved in such a way to a remote drive?

Does anyone have an idea how I can label the folder to later determine the process of the job inside?
Thanks for any help.


Steven
