Try the UNLOCK command. Also, I recommend you use "LIST.READU EVERY" to see all locks held.
Usage: UNLOCK USER xxx ALL or UNLOCK INODE nnnn ALL (or similar if I recall the syntax. (Copy entries mentioned above from the UV account VOC file, if not present) NEVER use UNLOCK ALL...unless you wish to potentially wreak havoc on your system. ;-) The UV Deadlock daemon does periodic clean-ups of locks for dead and deadlocked processes - check it's log fie in the UV account to see if it released these locks.
