Actually there is a way to get around this without the need to reboot :-)
Its unsupported by Mr Veritas, but I don't care - sorts it and can unlock
those files and delete them on the fly!

Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] Client Files
VSP cache files.
They usually linger on the client, if a backup fails (infamous Status
156) due to AV locking, or disk filling, or whatever.
Could happen if Antivirus is scanning the file when Netbackup creates it,
and antivirus has it locked when NBU tries to delete it.
See the following technote: http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/269558.htm
Need to reboot the client to release/delete it.
The files can fill the disk and crash the client.......been there, done
that.
