I am not good enough at explaining my point :)

Your scripts result:
The processed files SickBeard copied to the "tv show" folder are deleted and a symlink is created to the files in the "download" folder, this way torrents can keep on seeding. (brilliant and takes up less disk space).

What I thought your script did:
SickBeard copies and processes files from the "download" folder to the "tv show". Then delete the files from the "download" folder while creating a symlink to the processed files in the "tv show" folder. (Same result, torrents keep seeding and less space consuming).

The difference is, that the files are located in the "tv show" folder and the links in the "download" folder. When you are finished seeding, just trash the torrent and the files in the "download" folder.

If you then could ask SickBeard not to process symlinks, this would be the complete solution to a lot of people :D
