It appears that you have a stale lock file (the 6.lock file in the locks 
directory)
that is preventing you from submitting updates. Delete the lock file and try
your PR update again.

Stale lock files can result if an edit is abnormally terminated....say, 
by killing
an edit-pr process during an edit.

Hope this helps.
