So I tried 'ls -lo', but no flags are set. Then I tried 'fstat -f > /home/public', no files open from that directory.

Sorry for the lame advice to do something you've already done. Did you try to chflags nouchg GradeSht.xls just to see if it would work? I don't know why it would if ls -lo doesn't show a flag set, but one thing to try. (or noschg) Cheers, James Z.
