This is a bit of a strange error. It implies that you can create a
temporary lock file, but can't link it to the original. What does
/var/spool/lock look like (ls -l) ? Perhaps LCK..cuaa1 is a
directory, or maybe /var/spool/lock is on a filesystem that doesn't
support links (msdos filesystem) ?
If neither of these are true, I guess gdb's your friend :-[
