The "File exists" string is almost certainly the result of strerror(EEXIST).

As to where that's coming from, you might (have the customer) try the following:

sudo dtrace -n '
syscall::open*:return
/pid == $target && errno != 0/
{
        printf("%s %s\n", probefunc, errno);
        ustack();
}' -p <pid of your program>

(I split the quoted part across multiple lines, but you can collapse it to one 
line.  A long line is more likely to be mangled in email transit.)

Regards,
Ken
