Hi Michael,

Do you see any lock files:

# ls -al ~/*.lock

This locking mechanism is more complex than Word or OpenOffice for .doc
files - which are basically treated in a more secure format within the
Linux system. Within the lock file is the name of another file that also
must be deleted if you have in fact a locked document.
