I'm as sure as I can be that the app is not opening the file multiple times, the previous lines of code actually generate the folder and its all sequential. The file names are all deterministic, only 1 process running and nothing else accesses those files on the server. I have checked for things like backup processes. It happens so infrequently that I get the feeling that its more likely something else. I guess that I am looking for ways to troubleshoot the problem, maybe with debug tools or whatever the guru nfs people would use...
