Does this happen on PHP 5.1? It may be a PHP5.2 bug, in which case you
should report it.

We need to see some code first, but my guess is that you do not have
permission to delete that file. What is the file CHMOD'd to? Can you
delete it via the command line?

Also, if you unlink something at script shut down (__destruct() for
example), you will run into problems with permissions, because the
engine is in the processing of shutting down and many streams are killed
-- such as MySQL, and likely the filesystem.
