Yes, Distiller is running under Windows. When pages start to get ready, 
one of the graphic operators opens Distiller on his/her workstation 
which then starts watching a folder *on the server*.

Yes, that would be a possibility. But those people have strong rooted 
habits and they are not in the least technically minded. As such, I 
would prefer to keep a workflow that has been functioning very well.

(By the way, that "special text file" is a snippet of PostScript code 
that instructs Distiller on where to find the files and how to process 
them. It would be needed anyway.)

Perhaps this obstacle will be removed by applying the correct parameters 
to the EXT3 file system, as suggested by William Maltby and Steve 
Thompson above in this thread: mount option "dir_index" followed by a 
"fsck -Df". I will try this Monday.

Thank you for answering.
