Why not implementing something like the following to salvage your 
processing, document (LOG) the problem and deal with it latter:

...
 success = ProdOrca.sendPNG pngfile
  if success == true then
  ftpfile = File.new(filesuccess, "w")
  ftp.putbinaryfile(filesuccess)
  ftpfile.close
  File.open("E:/logs/StatusReports/InfoConFiles.log", ...
 else
  ftpfile = File.new(fileerror, "w")
  ftp.putbinaryfile(fileerror)
  ftpfile.close
  File.open("E:/logs/StatusReports/InfoConFiles.log", ...
 end
 ####### Salvage your operation and log the problematic files ######
 begin
  FileUtils.rm(pngfile)  <----- This is what it's complaining about.
 rescue
  puts "LOG: #{File.expand_path(file)} can not be handled"
 end
...
