Ah, the old undeletable file test.

What happens when you goto Terminal and type

mv -f ./FILENAME ~/.Trash
Ding. Ding. We have a winner. Thanks a lot!

But can you delete it out of the trash once it is there??

If not regular delete, try secure delete.

If not, try moving it to /tmp which is (I think) automatically cleaned out during the boot process, when no other process can "claim" the file is in use.
