I would suggest to use a for loop instead and work on each file one by one.

Here is a sample code, modify as per your requirement:
Code:
for file in filename*
do
  procid=$( fuser "$file" )
  if [ -z "$procid" ]
  then
        echo "File not in use"
        # handle file here
  else
        echo "File in use" 
  fi
done

o you mean files coming from server A to B and dumping in a directory has a process Id when in progress?

for $file ## is it correct here ? - This for loop is unnecessary.

Use an infinite while loop if you want to wait until file is delivered, code something like:
Code:
for file in filename*
do
   procid=$( fuser "$file" )
   while :
   do
      if [ -z "$procid" ]
      then
          echo "File not in use"
          # File processing code here
          break;                           # break from while loop
      else 
          echo "File in use"
          sleep 60
       fi
   done 
done
