call "fpimport" (file is always locked)

At Wed, Apr 13, 2005 at 02:51:05PM -0400 or thereabouts, suspect Mike Fedko
was observed uttering:

Which OS?  

If *nix, then file ownership might be an issue.

In general, are you doing a CLOSE on the import handle before you try to
remove it?  You should be, although this is far more likely to be an issue
only on Windows.
