SCRIPTING "The File is busy and can't be updated" when writing/scripting XMP to clip

Question

I have a script that makes it all the way through with no errors in VS Code but I get an error in PP Events log saying "The File is busy and can't be updated". I searched in forums and found accounts of it but not during scripting. The fixes that were recommended were clear the cache and uncheck "write clip markers to XMP". I did both and am still getting the error. Any help would be much appreciated. I have attached the code. 
 
Moderator note: Please label questions about scripting with "SDK." That should make it easier for you to receive help. I have done that for you here.

It'll be hard to provide any meaningful guidance, without knowing which file/filetype/path was actually failing, generating that exception...

Can you send us some representatively-named media, with which to test your script?
