Right, or held for pickup (at least in FD's case), depending on the status of
the Spool Directory entry in the STQ.

I can't see why you wouldn't be able to do this. If the files are removed after
 having been successfully transported to the other system, there won't be any
"dupes". In FD's case, it will also honor the read-only attribute and not
include them. In the event of an error, FD will att the read-only attribute.
