You could also copy to a different name on the same disk, and when the copying
has been finished just 'move' (mv) the file to the filename the other
application expects. E.g. QMail works this way, writing incoming mails in
folders.

One more option may be to attempt to rename

Windows will indeed not allow you to rename or delete a file that's still
open for

appearance of the command file triggers the device to grab the
original file. My

This seems a synchronization problem. A scenario description could clear
things up so we can help:
