Jyothi:

Can you also send us your config file?

QUESTION:  Do you get these problems when using a clean filesystem?  I
think the answer is yes based on your email, but please verify my question.

Looks like you are having problems with removing files and/or directories.
Can you give me some idea of what your code is doing in terms of creating
and/or deleting files and directories?
