Unable to obtain exclusive access to persistance file

I have just run into my first major issue with SourceOffSite. The process of bringing down source from a remote site hanged in the middle and now I get a "Unable to obtain exclusive access to persistance file" message when I re-try to get the source.

The source is an asp.net project and I'm working with Visual Studio .NET 2003.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

There's a problem with the SOS cache file. Either it's corrupted or another app (like the GUI client) is trying to write to it and has it locked.
