In that case, I wonder if we should also be doing the renaming within the lock too. Even if we skip renaming files that we find are already in "obsolete_packs", there's still a chance that two processes will try to rename a file at the same time. It will have to either ignore NoSuchFile when renaming or do it within a lock too.
