The only options that I can think of are:
a) make the file group writeable, in which case they could delete it using shell commands
or b) Make your script which manipulates the file SUID, and make the file mode 600. Drawback to this is that SUID scripts can be used to gain shell command access if not programmed extremely carefully. (make it SUID-cdunix not SUID-root)
