Well, in my experience, that message doesn't *come* from the lockfile;
record level locks are maintained in the kernel lock table, and
usually, a reboot should clear up the problem.

Is it possible they have an overnight cronjob that runs something and
has gotten stuck on a record?

Run (or get and run) showlock, and see what it says.
