it doesn't like 'rm *lock* but only when I entered '.~lock*' instead of the wildcard at the beginning.

There are not 'invisible files'.
There is a 'convention' that states that files named '.something' are not shown in a 'ls' listing it doesn't like 'rm *lock* unless some specific switches are used. 
The 'dot' at the beginning, however *IS* part of the name of the file.
Try a:
find . -type f
and you will find it every time.

thanks... I figured it out. the lock file didn't delete when I originally
rm it. Apparently it doesn't like 'rm *lock*' but it liked 'rm .~lock*'. I
suppose it won't delete invisible files unless you explicitly tell it it is
an invisible file.

I would take a look at the rights and what user owns the file as a start.

Okay I rsynced things between my two computers but before I did so I
forgot to close libre calc. Now The file that was open on one of the
computers will not open  on the other. I deleted the SingletonLock file but
that didn't help any. I then tried deleting the file and then restoring
from back up but when I try to save the file the computer says that the
object is not accessable 'due to insufficient user rights'.  What do I do
to save the file. Also, when this happens again how do I open the file that
will not open if deleting the SingletonLock file does not work?
