The usual UNIXy thing to do to support multiple users/groups using the same
lockdir is to set the sticky gid bit on the lockdir. This enables BSD style
directory permission inheritance on many *nices. That's uysually accomplished
through something like 'chmod g+s <lockdir>'
Of course if both users already have the same default group then you won't
need to do this. Just set the group write permissions as Donald pointed out.
