Applying rights management through a watched folder

Greetings -- I'm trying to apply rights management to a PDF through a watched folder. I've created a short-lived process that invokes the Rights management Apply Policy module and created a watched folder endpoint. When I drop a PDF file into the watched folder, however, the result ends up in the failure bin (after a very, very long delay). Here's the error from the resultant log file:

Failure Time----Tue Mar 11 11:18:30 EDT 2008
source location ---- Reason of failure is-----Failure to invoke the job Apply Policy
Failure to invoke the job Apply Policy
Invocation error.

Any ideas on how to fix this?
