In order for the strat to work, you must reach the glass before this animation ends. Otherwise, he will copy an earlier position and won't run all the way to the glass. The second guard, the one behind the mainframe, will usually see Bond as you run to the glass and do another animation as the mainframe closes. At this point, you need to wait by the glass only until this animation has ended. Usually, you can tell easily by listening to the gunfire, whenever it ends, wait a bit extra for the animation to end, then leave the glass. Also, you probably want to stay still during this time, so that both guards copy the same exact position, and increase the chances of them blocking each other.

An important factor is that the guards needs to be close to each other in order to act as obstacles. (if one guard reaches the glass early, he might just continue running before the second guard even gets there). The mainframe usually handles this for us though, by delaying the nearest guard. It's also worth noting that the nearest guard will not spend more than 10 seconds trying to reaching the glass (usually not the far guard either), so he should *always* continue running. The time frame during which the door can open is therefore pretty small.
