Yup. And not just the connections... Sky+ / Sky+HD boxes also have an actual archive
function, specifically for archiving recorded programmes from the box to Something Else.
I would assume that anything Sky do not allow you / want you to archive (& movies may come under this?) would be protected (e.g. Macrovision).

Then use the freed-up SCART socket to connect the HDD recorder to the Sky+HD box.

Yup.
DVD Recorder >SCART> TV
Sky+HD >SCART> Verbatim (using the VCR SCART on the Sky box, not the TV SCART)
Sky+HD >HDMI> TV
