Is there a way to read a locked file across a network given that you are the machine admin on the remote machine? I haven’t been able to read the locked file locally, and attempting it over the network adds another layer of difficulty.

Depending on the type of lock (read only vs exclusive) it should be possible to copy the file first, then you can work with the unlocked copy.
You should be able to do that in a background thread. If you really like threading, have the file watcher start the read process once the copy is complete (although that might be overkill)
