One lock file refuses to disappear, even though I have code at both

Assuming that your code paths succeed and that the unlink actually
happens, it is possible for files to continue to exist after they
have been successfully deleted. This happens if another process
has opened them with share-delete mode; typically this will be
a virus checker or a process like the TortoiseSVN cache (or its
counterparts for other VCS). The file won't actually disappear
until the last handle on it is released.
In such cases the openfiles command [1] is very useful for detecting who
is holding the file open.
