You may be experiencing a problem that I did recently. When nutch deletes un-needed directory trees (like webdb.old) it does so with a recursive delete, but often does not check to see whether the results of the file-delete calls were successful. As a result, directories that are thought to have been deleted can still be present.
In my case, I found that other programs running on my machine (Win 2000) like a virus checker could have a lock on one of the files that nutch was trying to delete and so Windows would stop nutch from doing so. The result was the exception that you report. In my case I got around the problem by instructing the virus checker not to check nutch's working files.
