This is very bad log output, I agree. Binc is trying to create the scan
lock inside your "root level" Maildir, for example $HOME/Maildir/. It
failes and doesn't care why, then makes an attempt to clean up and fails
again. The last line of log output is simple more confusing than not
logging anything at all.

An strace of the bincimap process with a grep on "open" will perhaps 
provide more information.
