I'm not sure you can lock the file (at least without having root permissions).
I am not that familiar with that in java, but I would look for a read write lock of some kind, using the "write" lock only when you need to transfer the file, and the "read" lock when you are writing into the db in any of your methods. In this way all the writes won't lock, unless you are transferring the file, and the transfer process will wait for the end of any current write.
