The AppDomain.Unload doesn't seem to be releasing a lock on a 'dll' assembly
file dynamically loaded into the application domain. Why?

Are you sure that the assemblies are not loaded into the main AppDomain as well

A very common mistake is to create an appdomain, and then execute something
like

Assembly a = myAppDomain.Load("someAsm.dll");

this has the effect of loading the assembly in both appdomains. This link
has some examples of how to do what you want.
