I don't think there was a follow-up to this.
Aaron, please provide a listing of the directory that you are using in
IndexWriter constructor. Is it empty? What are permissions on it?
When the exception occurs, a file called write.lock should remain in
the directory. Can you ls -al that file? Is this Lucene 1.3*?
Maybe you solved the problem already. This is unlikely a Lucene bug.
