Which version of lucene are you using? In 1.2, I believe the lock file was located in the index directory itself. In 1.3, it's in your system's tmp folder.
Perhaps it's a permission problem on either one of those folders. Maybe your process doesn't have write access to the correct folder and is thus unable to create the lock file? You can also pass lucene a system property to increase the lock timeout interval, like so: -Dorg.apache.lucene.commitLockTimeout=60000 or -Dorg.apache.lucene.writeLockTimeout=60000 The above sets the timeout to one minute.
