I suspect that a process has a lock on that old data-product.  Do you
have the lsof(1) or fuser(1) utility?  If so, then use it to discover
the set of processes that have the product-queue open.  Then, investigate
those processes using the ps(1) utility.  One of them should be 
different from the rest because of its age or because it shouldn't be
running.  When you've identified it, then terminate it.

Steve Emmerson
