logtail holds an open filehandle on all files a tail-window is open for. On Windows it is impossible to move a file that is open. So please ask Bill Gates about a solution for this. This is no problem in a *nix environment.

logtail itself produces some logfile output. So you get a race-condition between logtail trying to display logfile contents for you and logtail itself producing logfile content. If you want to do that please make sure that you disable the output of DEBUG-messages in the log-environment you use (for example in log4j.xml).
