That happens if the file is still open.

I don't think it is a race condition exactly. More of an ordering problem.

Fix 'crontab' to close before unlinking...
Is this the Debian/Ubuntu crontab program.... it looks a bit like it, but this bug was fixed 6 years ago.

Or use a tmpfs for /tmp/ rather than using NFS???
