I tried destroying a virtual machine with the command openvz destroy. At 
the end, it complained that it failed to move /vz/private/100 because it 
was busy. I tried rmdir on the empty directory, but it fails with the 
same message. However, lsof /vz/private/100 does not show any process 
using this directory.

I am using a self compiled 2.6.18-8.1.8.el5-028stab039.1 kernel on Debian 
Etch. The file system being used on /vz is XFS.

plz check that you have no opened files in editors or in other terminals
in /vz/private/100
and that it's not a current directory somewhere.

It's empty...

No, it's not: if it was, I think lsof would be showing that a bash 
process was using that dir? I'm the only logged in user and not in that 
dir and there are no screens running, so that does not seem to be the 
problem.

lsof won't show file users since VE filesystem is unmounted with detach option.
is it reproducable on your machine?
I can try to debug/find file users if you provide me an access...
