Do you need to call forceMerge(1) at all? The javadoc, certainly for recent versions of lucene, advises against it. What version of lucene are you running?
It might be helpful to run lsof against the index directory before/during/after the merge to see what files are coming or going, or if there are any marked as deleted but still present. That would imply that something, somewhere, was holding on to the files. -- Ian.
