For someone's future reference, I can confirm that this was spotlight
causing the fBsyErr.
Thanks John and Eric for the help.

This is Spotlight biting you. It has your file open, because it's
trying to scan it.
We've filed a bug, but I don't know if they intend to fix it any
time soon.
You can work around this in a few ways:
- Spotlight will refuse to index files with special
characteristics (i.e. in the tmp folder, or with a dot as the
first character, etc)
Actually, I think Spotlight still indexes files in the /tmp folder.
However, it does not index invisible files (made invisible with the
Finder invisible bit), or as John says, files that start with a
period, so if you can use either of those techniques, that should
fix the problem.
