Hmm.. Well then I'm concerned. I want to keep root mapped to nobody for security. but from the sound of it, I need to noclobber-root..

Is this what I'm catching?

This sounds like you don't have permissions to lock that file. This
might happen if you're running it as you (not as root) and trying to use
fcntl or flock to lock a file you can't write, or trying to dot-lock a
file in a directory in which you can't write.

Also remember that often, the "root" user is mapped to "nobody" over NFS
(that is, root isn't all-powerful on the NFS filesystem). That's one
common reason that a dotlock would fail.
