Then use a database to process who gets what. DB queries will queue up while a lock is in place so batches will occur on first come first served basis. I had thought this was for a background script. This will save your script from having to browse the filesystem files, sort by age, etc. Instead put an index on the ID of the file and grab the X lowest IDs.
