Sorry - cut-n-past error above...here's what I should have posted:
This could occur when using
a) Virus Checking software - in which case you need to make sure the folder where the database's tablespace containers are defined in is excluded from the RealTime virus checking process AND blocked from use from any other user other than the db2 instance/admin id
-OR-
b) Backup software where the software locks the file while it is taking a back up of the file.
