Thanks Milutin,
Your link seems to link through to
http://www.archivesat.com/post1458236.htm : a single post from the rsync
user list.
As I understand it (via http://tinyurl.com/mcy2m as I have no prior
knowledge of the tool), WSC is a backup tool used by Windows Server 2003
- I cannot readily see how that will be of use in my situation. Could
you clarify ?
Note: I am not having difficulty *reading* locked files, but *writing*
locked files.

Thanks again,
Mike.
