Just read your message again--I think you indicated that you're sharing a 
single working copy over the network. That's kind of crazy, and not at all 
recommended.

Assuming the issue I mentioned in my last doesn't apply to you because your 
network file system protocol is more robust, you'd normally do something like 
this:

$ fossil new /net/fossil/myrepo.fossil # create repo
$ cd ~/my-working-copy
$ fossil open /net/fossil/myrepo.fossil

Now suppose that your coworker has the same network share mapped to /share 
instead of /net on his system, and he wants to call his project folder someing 
different than you did. No problem! On his machine he would do:

$ cd ~/project-name
$ fossil open /share/fossil/myrepo.fossil

You should now both be able to use your local working copies without a 
problem--or so I would expect. If this is the pattern you're using now, and 
you're getting the problems you mentioned, then you should each have a local 
copy of the repo cloned from and synced with a central repo over http or ssh, 
which is the even-more-normal way to do it.
