Full text stuck in a rut - error msg 7619

I have a full-text index on a production db. The catalog is currently empty. When I try to populate it, I get a message saying I must enable full text for this database. When I try to run sp_fulltext_database 'enable', I get the following message:
Server: Msg 7619, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_fulltext_database, Line 61
Execution of a full-text operation failed. The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
Our OS team could not find any processes other than sqlserver.exe using files in the FTData dir. MSSearch is currently owned by the localsystem account, and ownership has not been changed since the SQL Server install.
I am using SQL 2000 EE. on a Windows 2000 cluster. SP3A is installed.
Has anyone else come across this error? Any advice would be appreciated!
