Thanks, I guess my question is how to make sure both instances are using the same lock directory.

Make sure both instances are using the same lock directory. The segments file should only be read or written while holding the commit lock. If the lock directories don't match, you'll get more 'strange' errors... In Lucene 1.4.2 some methods did not use the lock, this has been patched a couple of months ago.

It is on my list of issues to raise .... The index exist test looks for the segment file. When the index is committing, and you are unlucky, this file may not be found as the new segments file replaces the old one. The result is the index appears not to exist.

So it's kinda of random.
