Can I suggest using the -b batchfile option of sftp. Advantage is that if the get command fails sftp stops processing the batchfile so it won't remove your source file.

Code:
echo "get $filename /path/to/local/$filename" > /tmp/sftp_batch.$$
echo "rm $filename" >> /tmp/sftp_batch.$$
sftp -b /tmp/sftp_batch.$$ user@host 
rm /tmp/sftp_batch.$$

NAME

       sftp-server - SFTP server subsystem

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server

DESCRIPTION

       sftp-server implements the server side of the SSH File Transfer Protocol as defined in the IETF draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer.

       sftp-server is a subsystem for sshd(1M) and must not be run directly. There are no options or config settings.

       To enable the sftp-server subsystem for sshd add the following to /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

       Subsystem   sftp     /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server

       See sshd_config(4) for a description of the format and contents of that file.

       There is no relationship between the protocol used by sftp-server and the FTP protocol (RFC 959) provided by in.ftpd.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0        Successful completion.
