If I understand your question correctly, it would appear that the file
in question is on a disk which the server has accessed in R/O mode, and
the file is subject to change by another user who has R/W access to the
same mdisk.  If this is the case, the server should reaccess the disk to
refresh the in-storage copy of the mdisk directory.  You can use DISKWRIT
MODULE (part of the GONE facility) to check a R/O mdisk to see if it has
been changed, thus reducing the time and resources required to reaccess
an mdisk "just in case".
