How to Manage Large Amount of Files?

Hello,

I'm currently working on a big project with other people.
We capture, encode, rename, add metadata, and upload large amounts of files. I am trying to find free programs to manage the different steps, I also am looking for something to manage all of this. Like I said there are multiple people working on this and it is unclear who has finished what.
An idea was to create a spreadsheet using google docs and let everybody change what they worked on.
This can get very confusing because the file's name can change up to three times during this process.

Any ideas?

write a script that parses the data into an xml file or plain text and then post it.

What OS are you using? If you are using *nix I could help you with a shell script. If you are using Windows maybe I could write up a batch file but the windows command line is very lacking. I don't know any fancy computer languages but scripting would be the way to go.

Maybe python or perl would be the answer?
