Hi,

fcntl() locks don't work over NFS, unfortunately (well, I'm told they
"sort of" work in 2.2 kernels, but I wouldn't count on it). Even if they
work over NFS they may not work with other networked file systems or on
non-Linux systems.

So the fix is actually complicated, libPropList needs to use a different
type of locking. You might want to ask the libPropList author about it.
