Is there some sort of version control going on in the background? After all, in your script you have: pdfcrop --margins 1 '$file_base_name.pdf' '$file_base_name.pdf' where the output filename is the same as the input filename. If there is, could your script be deleting a "wrong" version. (AFAICT in linux, the ps/pdf conversion and deletion is done within the lilypond binary. I seem to recall a time when the .ps got left behind but I just deleted it in my script. Linux ext filesystems allow you to delete files whether or not other processes still have them open.)
