Have you tried cleaning out everything prior to building, both in local bins and in the final destination build? Relying on VS's cleans probably just cleans out the local bins (except for asp.net 2.0 apps). If you delete all the built files whereever they end up at during a build prior to building, does that solve your problem?
What I ended up doing was breaking builds into three pieces, a clean portion, a build portion, and a stage portion, where the stage portion copies stuff from the various locations into a commmon directory. The clean's either call the clean option for devenv, or just delete directories that house the compiled files. The staging portion is very easy to do in NAnt, as you can easily filter out exactly what you want to copy (exe/dll/pdb/config etc.).

Subject: Re: [NAnt-users] Pre/Post Build Events
I have the build file set up as follows:
<target>
<solution>
<project/>
...
</solution>
</target>
We are running a dis-jointed environment. Our code is in VSS but due to the fact that the network is Novell and we have offices in Wisconsin and Florida, those in the Florida office have trouble accessing VSS because it is slow so each night the build process is as follows:
Get all from VSS
Run Build
Create Zip File of whole directory
copy zip file to Florida
Everyone then gets the zip file and uses the code from there so the projects are not connected to VSS. Since the Post build events are not the same across the projects I would have to creating something to remove the build events, build, and then reget the project files from vss to restore the build events. This is doable but can create other issues. Our current build tool (which is an in house one) currently looks at a xml document of a list of the solutions, opens each solution in VS via the COM object model, does a build and disposes of the object. This makes things very slow to build on the local workstations. I am trying to get things switched over to NAnt to speed things up and to make the builds more consistant.
I guess the best thing to do then would be to create an app that modifies all the proj files to do the post build event the same and to only copy the output dll and pdb file, as there are some that do a *.* copy unless someone has a better suggestion?

You can write a program that goes through all your
projects' .csproj files and removes the value for the
PostBuildEvent attribute under the
VisualStudioProject-->CSHARP-->Build-->Settings xml node.
If you need the ability to re-enable the post build event
for when developers are working from the IDE, you can also
give your program the ability to add and remove the value
"PostBuildEvent.bat" to the attribute I mentioned above.
I'm not sure what's causing the sharing violation, are you
using the <solution> task to build the projects? If so, it
might still have a lock on the files in the final bin
folder.
