libre office problem

[Michael Havens]

yeah. looks like I copied the files with the locks in place so I copied the
locks. then when I closed the files and rsynced again it didn't delete the
locks because rsyn doesn't delete things. I still think we should have the
option of deleting the lock when libreoffice detects it!
