Thanks Marc,
I've re-installed because something I'd done had really screwed things
up, I wouldn't normally but my level of understanding is not quite
good enough yet.
I was wrong, It wasn't stale locks, It was "Stale NFS file handle."
I think it had something to do with subscribing to a specific channel,
Updating the expressions from it and then removing the channel.

I've re-installed and will be a bit more cautious in future.
Thanks,

Tony
