Could not LOCK /source/index.htm due to a failed precondition (e.g. other locks).

[David Cake]

Trying to access webDAV on apache 1.3.33 on debian stable,
trying both Mac OS X 10.4 and windows xp clients.
I appear to be able to access webDAV fine for reading files,
but when I try to save changes to a file I get an error (a -47 error
on the mac) and
[Fri Jul 29 01:58:12 2005] [error] [client 60.224.213.30] Could not
LOCK /source/index.htm due to a failed precondition (e.g. other
locks). [423, #0]
[Fri Jul 29 01:58:12 2005] [error] [client 60.224.213.30] Existing
lock(s) on the requested resource prevent an exclusive lock. [423,
#0]
in the logs.
My DAVLock file looks to have the right permissions to me,
and the files are definitely readable and writable by my web servers
user/group . Any other ideas?
Cheers
David

Have you tried nuking the DAVLock file (cp /dev/null /wherever/DAVLock)
to insure there are no existing locks on the files in question?

Just something quick I'd check if you haven't already.
