The only other time I have ever seen this happen was when either the
locking had been tweaked or there were 2 MailScanners running at the same
time. MailScanner uses exactly the same locking semantics as sendmail, I
copied it from the source. Something is removing the file from under
sendmail's nose before it has finished with it...

What OS are you using?
What version of sendmail?
