Looks sort like something I discusses some days ago with Julian; topic "Lock 
files" ,-)))

Just remove the lock file and everything should be working again. Check the 
file permissions of the current file and of the user running the update. 
I'd place a bet the later one cannot create the file, i.e. it's another's 
user's file.

No, it stays there even after the update.
