Hey Neil,

I tried the above but it didn't help. Basically what happened is that by 
the time the above condition was satisfied and the lsof command ran 
there was no process which was accessing that directory.

So it seems like the directory is created and then left alone. There is 
never any content created inside it.

Thanks for the advise though.
