Thanks Oluwagbenga,
I looked in the logfile and found "access denied to user.lock-file".
Maybe I can go further from there with some chmod. But I don't like to
open files blindly because there is often a reason why they are locked.
Well, anyway, now I have something that might lead me in right direction
so I thank you for that.
