The statement means that a lock file is in place for the archive you
are trying to update. Normally, an existing lock file implies that
another MHonArc process is currently using the archive, and other
MHonArc processes will wait awhile to see if the archive will be
unlocked.
However, there are times when a lock file exists, but no MHonArc
process is modifying the archive. This can occur if MHonArc is
abnormally terminated. If you know that no other MHonArc process is
editting the archive you are try to modify, then manually remove the
lock file or use the FORCE resource.
