Orca (not orcallator.se) is complaining because it had an open file
descriptor to the file and then the file was compressed and deleted
(kinda stolen from Orca's point of view).

You don't tell orcallator anything.  I think you mean orca.pl instead?
And you don't need to tell orca, as the orcallator.cfg already checks
for .Z, .gz and .bz2 files.
