Since I am using the move() function from the File::Copy module, I have been relying on the correctness of the module to check the various things mentioned.

In comparing the two strace excerpts, it appears to me that the error is occurring before the move process actually begins. In the strace segment that does work, I see that if the open attempt is successful, then the read/write sequences begin.

I am still quite new to this level of script work. But if I am understanding the strace output correctly, this error is occurring before anything actually touches the file itself. It seems that something is opening the file and not getting it closed in time for the next open attempt. I just don't know what.

May this involve delving into the File::Copy module and possible needing some kind of change or delay there? I have looked at the module, but the majority of it is way over my head.


Thanks,
Michael
