Are you using a shared cache?  You can get also get SQLITE_LOCKED when
using a shared cache.  See section 2.2 of
<http://www.sqlite.org/sharedcache.html>.

I've not used a shared cache myself.  One day I was wondering if I
needed to worry about handling SQLITE_LOCKED errors and I came across
that page.  Are these the only times you can get SQLITE_LOCKED errors?
