Files in c:\inetpub\mailroot\Pickup folder not being deleted on W2K

Subject pretty much says it all. Files created via CDONTS are placed in the
folder and sent out just fine, but the email isn't being deleted from Pickup
which results in the same message being sent over and over until I manually
delete it. Things I have checked:
1) Delete from command prompt works fine (no sharing violations)
2) Creating a file via notepad (instead of CDONTS) exhibits the same
behavior
3) Nothing in the eventlog
4) Security on the folder is currently set to Full Control for Everyone -
and I added Full Control for System.

Sever has been running for months and I've never seen this until yesterday.
It's fully patched as of 6/16. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
-Jeff
