Showsqueeze temporary file location

I use a program called FolderShare to mirror all my Showsqueezed recordings from my home BTV machine to my notebook. That way I can keep up with my shows even when I'm traveling for a few weeks.

It worked great but I've started getting a lot of Showsqueezes failing on a "file moving postprocessor" error in the last step. The problem appears to be that Showsqueeze compresses the recording into a temporary file in the Showsqueeze destination directory and renames it the last step. Unfortunately, FolderShare starts syncing the .tmp file as soon as it appears and has the file open when Showsqueeze tries to rename it.

I've been doing this for at least a year without any noticing any problems until recently. I made two changes right before I started seeing the problem. First, I upgraded to 4.6 perhaps the location of the temporary file changed in 4.6. Second, I experimented with doing Divx compresses instead of WMV (I added a new video folder for the Divx compresses) so perhaps a setting got changed at that point.

Unfortunately, FolderShare doesn't have any filtering capabilities so I can't just exclude the *.tmp files. It does a great job syncing over slow and unreliable internet connections so I am reluctant to start looking for a replacement.

Any ideas? Is there something in SETTINGS.XML that controls the location of ShowSqueeze temporary files?
