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...
