Sharepoint Check-In/Check-Out issues

My most recent project at work involved grabbing a PDF off of a Sharepoint Document Library via it's UNC path, attaching an additional page, saving it to a different location, and then deleting the directory that the original file was located in.

It would always work for me on my dev box and on the 2003 server.... just not for other people...

Turns out that the file was checked out to me in Sharepoint and so I could always delete it if I wanted to, but nobody else could until I checked it in.

I hit my head against a wall for several days over this issue.
