Also having it as part of the promotion system seems a bassackwards way to do it.. I simple option under attachment manager.. Require X posts for downloads would be so much easier..

Even then, it still would not be informative for the user.. because when the click an attachement it would still say you have to be a registered user to download attachments.. not that you need 10 posts..

I think the main problem is that by default users are moved from awaiting email confirmation to registered user.. without the ability to put "probationary user in between the two"

Unless you want to code a plugin, any verified user will go into the "Registered Users" usergroup. Make this group the one with no download permissions. Create a new group and let this group download. Then set the promotion. You can add a message into postbit about attachments based on usergroup if needed.
