Hi Thomas, See this post regarding the locking issue: http://www.mail-archive.com/nxlog-ce-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00261.html
It may be possible to implement a directive like CloseWhenIdle which would instruct the im_file module to close input files when there is no new data available to read. This could help in your case, on the other hand many other applications doing exclusive locking will fail if not written to wait.
