unable to obtain lock

Has anyone seen this error before?

 

BUILD FAILED
file:/home/buildmaster/projects/SeamlessGate/implementation/build_config/build.xml:374: java.lang.RuntimeException: unable to obtain lock on sync file

where build.xml:374 is the checkout task:

 

<stcheckout username="${starteam.user}" password="${starteam.passwd}" rootstarteamfolder="${starteam.folder}" rootlocalfolder="${starteam.checkoutfolder}" projectname="${starteam.project}" viewname="${starteam.view}" deleteuncontrolled="true" forced="false" servername="${starteam.server}" serverport="${starteam.port}"/>

 

what sync file is it complaining about?
