@ Paul, Rick, and Brad: Thanks a bunch for your comments, ideas, suggestions.
The reason why I had the cflock was because directly after the cffile rename, was a cfexecute for ffmpeg. Without the lock, it seemed that ffmpeg begins to execute even before the actual file rename on the file system completes. Ffmpeg then throws an error because it does not allow file names with spaces. You're talking milliseconds of overlap here- unsure if its caused by the server OS latency but as far as CF goes, I think it thinks has completed rename. It doesn't seem to happen all the time, but I did see it happen. The lock just seemed to prevent that from happening. > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael E.
