What tools do you have at your disposal? Backups? USB or Firewire external drives? Other Macs with Firewire?
Assuming that you can get one of the tools above, you should be able to boot from a clone or another mac in target mode, mount the drive and delete the file. In desperation, sometime desparate measures are required. You could try downloading a linux live CD and booting it. Then it may allow you a more user-friendly method to remove the file than command line.
