That last sentence sounds like a "I already looked over your resume, although I have to circulate it, it's a no so good luck."

No, that is an acknowledgment that the Company has received your application.

Yeah I hate emails like this... or when people say at the end of an interview "Good luck with your future endeavors" .. why? because you'll never see me again?
