It could be a problem with a virus scanner or something like google 
desktop locking the file in question. 
Anything that monitors the files that are being opened or written to could 
be related. 
If you can do something when the error is detected check out the OS's open 
files list (using something like Sysinternal Process explorer) on the 
server.
