That is very strange.
That error message implies that the file is open by some other
program... maybe you have a file browser (Konqueror? nautilus?) open
on /tmp and when the bitmap file changes it opens it to have a look
inside to produce a thumbnail, and that stops md from being able to
use it?  That seems very unlikely though...

Maybe try
  lsof /tmp/md2003bm

to see if anything is using the file.
