Hi kuer,

Thanks for the report.  According to Luke (who wrote the code), these
messages are innocuous.  I agree that the code should be fixed so that it
doesn't try to delete these files that don't exist.  However, I think the
code does not ever delete files that are in use.  This code has been in
place for about a year and we've never experienced that kind of problem.

If you want to take a shot at fixing the non-existent file delete problem,
go for it.  We'll pull it in if it looks good.
