  Thanks, that makes sense. Do you know if Windows provides any way to find 
out who the culprit is? Who has the file open?

  I have a Symantec anti-virus. I'm not sure if I know about every time it's 
doing its thing. It might be, but it would be strange for it to fail every 
time.

  I'm not running WinCVS, or anything else that knows about those 
directories (in fact, CVS just created the directories). I don't have an 
Explorer open to those directories.
