      Does anyone have any wisdom in using folder actions and InDesign.




I have a suggestion: don't use folder actions. They're fragile with large scripts, and a bear to debug. Better to use a stay-open script with an idle handler, and have it use "list folder" to check the contents of the target folder every few seconds.
