I wouldn't be surprised if, even with just one copy of the code executing,
there would be a delay between when you delete and when you can write; this
would be up to the OS and I don't think CFLOCK would help. You could
CFTRY/CFCATCH in a CFLOOP so you wouldn't have to build in a delay:
<cfset not_deleted_yet = true>
<cfloop while="not_deleted_yet">
<cfset not_deleted_yet = false>
<cftry>
<!--- cffile delete --->
<cfcatch>
<cfset not_deleted_yet = true>
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
</cfloop>
Could you use CFFILE append instead of delete/write? Or log to a DB which
takes care of these problems for you?

Subject: RE: CFFile access problem
Good point. I've noticed that some of the file contention problems
seem to disappear if I use a loop to introduce a brief delay between a
CFFILE Delete and
a CFFILE Write operation on the same file. Is that to be expected, and
should CFLOCK
solve that problem (it seems that there are still some file contention or
access
problems).
