I have had what sounds like a similar problem before where I could not eject or trash a file. I have had luck with shutting down the machine and re-starting.

Try repairing permission using the disk utility, then reboot, if the file is still being used after reboot, i would think it is being read by an item in your startup items. Check you startup items in you 'accounts' preferneces.
It's very important to carefully follow these directions:
Open /Applications/Utilites/Terminal
Type in:
sudo rm -f
Please note, there is a space after the -f, then from the Finder, click and drag the file that you cannot remove into the Terminal window. The absolute path to the file will then be automagically added to the command. Hit return. Enter your admin password.
Bye bye file that won't go away.
Hello,
OS X does have a "safe mode". It is triggered with a keyboard sequence, of which I need to go look up and get back to you with.
