The message means that all of there are open transactions in all of
*logical* log files. Each physical log file is made up of multiple virtual
log files and the physical log cannot be shrunk when there all of these
virtual logs are occupied with open transactions.
You can identify the oldest open transaction with:
USE MyDatabase
DBCC OPENTRAN
GO
You should be able to shrink once the transaction completes. See 'Shrinking
the transaction log' <architec.chm::/8_ar_da2_1uzr.htm> in the Books Online
for details.
