help! "File is locked" - bahzell_dotmac

I hade the same problem, I finally figured out the problem. Virex 7.5 Beta background scanner was messing things up. When the dialog box that says "file is locked" came up, I opened Activity Viewer to find the specific files then added them into the Exclusion List in Virex.

The files I excluded were:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/HIToolbox.framework/Versions/A/Resources/HIToolbox.rsrc

/System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/HIToolbox.framework/Versions/A/Resources/English.lproj/Localized.rsrc

/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/frameworks/HIServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/HIServices.rsrc

/System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/HIToolbox.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Extras.rsrc

/System/Library/Frameworks/QuickTime.framework/Versions/A/Resources/QuickTime.rsrc

/System/Library/Frameworks/QuickTime.framework/Versions/A/Resources/English.lproj/Localized.rsrc

After that, I was able to hotsync without a hitch.
