There could be someone who has the file open even though you have deleted it. I have run into this in the past. We had a WebSphere region that filled up an HFS. I deleted the file that was consuming the space, but it didn't get released until the WebSphere region came down. This is a security 'feature' of UNIX.

I have deleted several files and subdirectories, yet when I attempt to add a new directory, I get error 85x, and a message that indicates there is no space left on the device. I would have thought an HFS file wouldn't behave like a PDS, but more like a UNIX device. Any ideas?
