A program could be written to do that- but the question is exactly why? Basically what you want is a folder where anything that is written there gets moved (not copied) somewhere else. Err.. why not just write the file in that target folder to begin with?
Then you mention that you want the program to possibly move to multiple folders- well that's not a move then that's a copy.
I could see if you wanted a program where based on the filename or attributes it would move to different folders, but to move every single file seems kind of useless to me.
The simple answer is that he's probably working with something he doesn't get to control. For example whatever is putting files in the directory may be configured to always write files into that particular location, or may not have the flexibility to write files into different locations or write multiple copies into multiple locations.
Or, it could be a drop-box scenario, where the drop-box is a publicly accessible directory that's screened off to prevent people from wandering around in the system (a common technique for FTP drops), but the eventual destination of the files is somewhere else, so you have a background process with more permissions move things into the desired location.
Lots of reasons for wanting a program like this...
