That's a good clue.  It makes me think this is probably an NFS problem,
perhaps related to posix advisory locking and your NFS implementations'
inability to support it.

Try setting:

    export FOSSIL_VFS=unix-dotfile

or

    export FOSSIL_VFS=unix-none

Then run Fossil (as a normal) user and see if that fixes the problem.
Please let me know what happens
