Hi, not sure if it solves the problem.. We don't use dropboxes, our problem was that long tracks (like pre-recorded entire shows) give error when imported.

I have encountered two problems using dropboxes. One is the well documented Apache timeout problem; but also, large files copied from a Windows machine into a dropbox may get imported before they're finished copying, resulting in a truncated Rivendell file.

To avoid this second problem, I don't use dropboxes, but run a cron job to look for files to import; it checks the last modified time, and if it's more than 30 seconds ago, it assumes the file is complete and runs rdimport on it. Files that fail to import are copied to a "bad" folder, which usually fills up with Adobe Audition .pk files and other junk.
