RAW and processed file synchronization - help!!!

Does anyone know of a better way to synchronize .raw and developed (.jpg, .tiff, etc.) files?
Here's my workflow now....
1) Process RAW images... processed images are put in a subfolder of the RAW image set
2) Review the processed images and delete the images I don't want to keep
3) Using Total Commander, I navigate to the subfolder containing the processed image files, select those files, and save the selection as a .txt file
4) Using notepad or any other .txt editor, I do a search and replace on the .txt file searching for *.jpg and replacing it with *.cr2 (I'm shooting Canon bodies) and save the resulting text file
5) I navigate to the RAW folder in Total Commander and load the text file I created previously as a selection
6) I then invert the selection (using Total Commander) and delete the resulting list of selected RAW files
7) I then create a folder named after the event I imaged, make a subfolder in that folder named RAW, cut & paste the RAW images to the new RAW subfolder, and cut & paste the developed images to the new folder.
Whew! What I end up with is a folder "[Event Name Here]" containing only the processed images that I want to keep with a subfolder "RAW" containing only the corresponding RAW images.
Is there a program or set of scripts that will automate steps 3 through 7? I'd like to be able to do the operations to many folders at once like a batch file.
Thanks in advance,
Scott
