Is there some way how to set status to media mover files from external server?

I want to do this:

- drupal server: user upload file to the node with CCK filefield
- drupal server: mediamover harvest file from field
- drupal server: mediamover will send it do Amazon S3
- external server: script will download file from S3 uploaded in previous step
- external server: processing of the file
- external server: processed file is uploaded to S3
- external server: send info to drupal server: media mover where is file and set status to completed
- drupal server: mediamover file data will look like this:

Harvest:  mm_content       Harvest:  1  Harvest:  files/test_1.txt
Process:  media_mover_api  Process:  1  Process:  files/test_1.txt
Storage:  mm_s3            Storage:  2  Storage:  http: //s3.amazonaws.com/original-backet-name/node-68.txt
Complete: mm_external      Complete: 2  Complete: http: //s3.amazonaws.com/finished-backet-name/node-68.txt

Does already exists module which allows to change status of media mover files from external server?

If not what is best way to do it? I am thinking about module for complete action using services.module to get and send info to the media mover.

Intersting- I hadn't thought of moving the original file to s3. It should be fairly trivial to modify the s3 module to do this- or have the option to do this. I also hadn't really considered what happens if you run the s3 processes back to back. I think that is going to pose problems for the file path that the subsequent media mover actions are going to try to run. I think that it means that $file['storage_file'] will still have to be the file on the server, and the s3 module will have to add it's data into $file['data'].

As per changing the status of a file from an external server, I haven't written anything to do this, but it could be archived with XMLRPC or by calling specific urls which can be protected from abuse.
