I'm attempting to sychronise to a shared folder on my Windows Home Server (WHS v1, based on Windows Server 2003 R2, I believe).

All is fine apart from ONE file - I get the following error:

Cannot delete file "\\SERVER\directory\sub directory\filename".
Error Code 32: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. (DeleteFile)

Whilst it is true that the file is open in another process on the server I can copy over it if I just use the standard 'copy' command.

For the moment I have a workaround in place whereby I filter out the problem file & then use the 'On completion' feature of FFS to call a .bat file to copy the problem file separately.

Thanks for your attention.
