Yes, it's certainly possible that there may be problems if people upload
files with the same name at the same time. The first person may email the
second person's file, for example, or the second person's operation might
fail because of a locked file.
To avoid this, you could set the NAMECONFLICT attribute to "unique" instead
of "overwrite", then attach the uniquely named file (referencing
File.ServerFile to get that name). Alternatively, you could have your script
create a uniquely-named directory for each user, and upload the file or
files into that directory, then delete the directory and its contents when
you're done.
