What type of filesystem is /altroot/ENGDATA/DeFRAC/defracdev/repository located on?
Can you send the output of: df -T /altroot/ENGDATA/DeFRAC/defracdev/repository It might be that the filesystem type doesn't support file locking. My suspicion at this point is that it's an NFS mount - not all versions of which fully support locking.
