I'm going to go out on a limb and blame Spotlight, since this is
typically the reason why a newly-added file cannot be deleted and
fBsyErr is returned.
Try using the OS call "unlink" instead, as this will work even if
another process has the file open.

Hello,
I am trying to implement a "save" mechanism. I want the "save"
mechanism to be safe (I dont want to corrupt the user's data) - so,
I create a temporary file, write to the temporary file, swap the
contents of the temporary file with the real file the user saved
to, then delete the temporary file.
Now, I am swapping the contents of 2 files using FSExchangeObjects
(...). FSExchangeObjects returns no error, however, sometimes when
I try to delete the unwanted (temp) file, I get a fBsyErr [File is
busy (delete)]. Is the OS still doing something with the file(s)
after they are exchanged? This seems to happen once every 3 times
I call FSExchangeObjects.
Both files are guaranteed to always in the same directory. Any
advice appreciated?
Thanks in advance,
Tolu
