As they say in the NFL, "Upon further review..." ...this was the problem. I incorrectly thought the ".dbf" was at the end of the file names, but it wasn't. It was trying to delete "tmp12345" instead of "tmp12345.dbf." And the reason the files WERE being deleted on my end was because I had a separate utility set up here to delete those files that I was running. They weren't running that utility at the plant. Thanks for all the thoughts, everyone! And also for the other tips on the work-around for using read-write cursors in v6.
