How to create a new folder with a different name everyday

Question

Hello everybody,
I have another question if you don't mind. But first thank you again to V.K and red menace for helping me with the my previous post.
This is actually the same project, I just keep on seeing new obstacles when I'm almost done.
Below is my workflow. My workflow is exporting a quicktime movie to a folder in our server.
What I need to do at the end is to move the exported file into a folder but a folder needs to be created and it has to change at about midnight everyday.
For example today the file will go to Server>Client folder>File folder named 09-04-2008
Then the next day, I need to put the new exported files to Server>Client folder>File folder named 09-05-2008.
First, how can I create a sequential named folders and second how can I tell Automator to put the files in the right folders. This process is a 24 hour process.
Thanks for you future help.

1) Get Specified Finder Items (Pointing to File Folder)
2) Get Folder Contents (tried checked and uncheck on Repeat for each subfolder
3) Get Specified movie ( I guess Filter finder items and choose .mov will work too)
4) Quicktime Export (exporting it to the Exported Folder)
5) Get Specified Finder Items (Pointing to File folder to get to the original file)
6) Get Folder Contents
7) Filter Finder Items (choose .mov)
8) Move Finder Items ( pointing to Archive Folder to move the original file)
9) Get Specified Finder Items (Pointing to Exported Folder)
10) Get Folder Contents
11) Filter Finder Items (.mov)
12) Move Finder Items (Pointing to Server Folder)

It doesn't look like there is an easy way to do this. The sort and filter actions don't let you use variables, and I haven't found any actions that will alter a list. Making a text file with the name of the newest folder seems kind of clunky, but it is an option.
What I was thinking about was an action that would take the first item in a list - then you could get your backup folders, sort by creation date, and just take the top one in the list (the newest one). Hmmm - this should be fairly straight-forward, so maybe I'll write an action
In the mean time, give the Run AppleScript action in the following workflow a try.
Tested workflow:
1) Ask for Finder Items (Type: Folders)
2) Get Folder Contents
3) Sort Finder Items (by creation date in ascending order)
4) Run AppleScript (the following script)
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFDDFF;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into an Automator 'Run AppleScript' action">
on run {input, parameters}
return the first item in the input list
input: a list of anything
output: the first item, or {} if none or error
set output to {}
try
set the end of the output to the first item of the input
end try
return output
end run</pre>

The above workflow should return the newest item in the selected folder.
