Code:
typeset -i mCnt
mFile='Test_File'
while true
do
  touch ${mFile}
  echo "Sleeping for X seconds at "`date`
  sleep X
  for mEachFile in `find . -type f ! -newer ${mFile}`
  do
     ...move ${mEachFile} to its new location...
  done
  mCnt=`find . -type f -newer ${mFile} | wc -l`
  if [ $mCnt -eq 0 ]; then
    break
  fi
done
rm -f ${mFile}

Where 'X' is whatever number of seconds you think it is necessary to be
sure there is no more writes done to a file.
