file interaction differences between win98 and winxp

There is a directory on the iSeries that has files we interact with. 
It is under /qdls/rugd80

We have a program that is running under win98 that checks the
directory for a file, when it is there it reads it, then deletes it.

We recently moved the program onto winxp and log in with the exact
same user account.  Now, when it tries to delete the file, it says it
can't and that it is probably in use.  As a test, I went over to the
older computer and was able to browse to the directory and delete it
with no issue.

Any ideas?
