I recently used Stuffit (v8) to compress a folder and now I can't get it to unstuff. Here are the details:
While doing some semi-regular disk cleanup, I used Stuffit Dropstuff (v 8.0.2) to compress a folder to an OS X SIT file. Compressed size was 132MB. The operation seemed to complete with no issues but a few weeks later when I went to open it up, I got the following error message:
Of course, it is not in use. It has just been sitting on the drive for a few weeks. Now, I am aware of the terminal workaround to delete a file that is in limbo, but I don't want to delete it as I still need the file. I built the archive on my 2004 iBook under OSX 10.4.3. and am now running 10.4.5.
Any help would be appreciated.

"The item "Docfolder.stix" is in use right now and cannot be opened.
Try again when the current task (such as moving or copying an item or emptying the trash) is complete."
