Solved! Thanks Hugh. fuser revealed some old/hung rsync process hanging to
that file! I didn't think that would be a problem, because AFAIK, open files
are deletable under Linux! Anyway, killing that old rsync, enabled me to
delete the files!
Maybe we've got proper file locking now. It's a while since I read up on
it, we used to have optional advisory locks, and advisory locks are next
to no locks.
I've just read these two files:
/usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.6.18/Documentation/locks.txt
/usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.6.18/Documentation/mandatory.txt
and concluded we have proper mandatory locks on files where we say we
want them. Except that, being optional, it's not very satisfactory but
it could explain the problem with the ,nfs* files.
