I've mainly worked on solaris, now starting on linux. It seemed like the original poster said that some other unix flavors actually don't do the rm if the file is in use. I've used fuser on files to make sure they are not in use before rm'ing, is there an alternate version of solaris rm that'll automatically check for file handles?

Note: the fuser trick doesn't seem to work on a clustered file system...
