This invariably means some process has one or more files open in
the file system.

A now-forgotten shell in an xterm that happens to be cd'd into a
directory on there will be enough. I would check whether you have
something running that you have forgotten -- ps waux could be useful
to see whether there is something running that should be moved out of 
the way.

All the best,
