Thanks for all the posts.
Each file is about 500mb. If the delete job kicks off and if there is a file written at that time, linux does not know what to do and locks that space off. Say 200 mb is written when delete kicks off, that 200mb is gone from archive filesystem and in a week's time it reduces to nothing and will not last even an hour. I have to bounce db to clear up pending archives. Instead i want a modification to my script to preserve the last file and delete all.
Anyway i modified the script adding a variable which greps for last file and delete using grep -v of that last file. It was just one more line to my existing script.
Thanks again

SVC(1) General Commands Manual SVC(1)
NAME
svc, ci, co, svclog - shell version control system
SYNOPSIS
ci [-lu] file
co [-l] [-r rev] file
svclog file
OPTIONS
-l For ci, checkin, checkout again, and lock file
-l For co, checkout file and then lock the archive
-u After checking in, do not delete the file
-r Check out revision rev instead most recent revision
EXAMPLES
ci -u file # Check in file
co -l file # Check out file and lock archive
co -r 2 file # Check out version 2
DESCRIPTION
Svc is the Shell Version Control system, patterned on RCS. It maintains a sequence of versions in archive files, so that new versions can
be checked in (added to the archive), and old versions can be checked out (made available). To create an archive for file, check it in
with the -u flag. This action will prompt for a log message and then create an archive called file,S in the current directory, or in the
subdirectory SVC if it exists. The file will not be deleted, but will be made unwritable.
To update the file, check it out with the -l flag. Then modify it, and check it back in, giving a new message when prompted. After this
process has been repeated many times, the archive will contain the entire history. Any version can be checked out using the -r flag. To
get a printout of the history, use svclog.
