Please state what Operating System you have and which is your preferred shell.
Are the files created in a predicatable manner such that the required cron can run on files which are definitely complete?
It is quite easy if there is a quiet slot when no files can be created.

My first thought is to create a script which copies the files during a quiet time slot, then immediately create a reference file with "touch". After the first instance, use "find -newer" relative to the reference file and re-touch the reference file after the copy. This technique will not work unless there is a regular quiet time slot.
