A few ways.

One is to find the actual 'save' command being run on the client.  If
you ran that directly (rather than via savegrp), you could watch the
output as it appears.

I don't know anything about novell.  Does it have any utilities to show
files in use by a process?  I'd run 'pwdx' and 'pfiles' on the save
command on Solaris.
