Secedit failing to apply FileSystem settings

I have a security template file for FileSystem changes to a number of
directories on my system.

I am running the secedit /configure on the template file, but the
permissions in the template file are not applied.

The log file also state the following:

----Configure File Security...
Configure c:\.
Warning 32: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by
another process.
Error building security descriptor for c:\pagefile.sys.

File Security configuration was completed with one or more errors.

-----------------------------

There are no specific details as to why this is failing.

Does anyone have any ideas why the failure is occurring or how I can enable
some form of logging that would allow me to find the root cause of the
problem.

Cheers,
Kenney
