This is a symptom of something else having that file open.

* What Antivirus software do you have? They sometimes take a few seconds 
to do their check, during which time the file is open.

* Are you also running something else (like WinCVS), or any other 
package that likes to scan directories based on change notifications? 
(Sometimes you'll see this error if you have Windows explorer open at 
the right (wrong) directory..)
