showlock/lock.info on 5.7?

[Jay Ashworth]

I've just needed to try to figure out which dclerk was locking
a record (note to Ken: modifying dclerk to adjust its argv[0] to say
which file and record are open would be *really* cool :-), and discovered
that neither works:

$ showlock ml4
returns
ml4: Permission denied

whether I am a user, root, or filepro; all files in the directory, and
the directory chain itself, are mode 777.

lock.info, for its part, complains that it can't find the filepro programs;
/appl/fp is a symlink to /appl/fp_5.7yadayada, and /appl/fp/dclerk works.

Did 5.7 ship with a working showlock?  Is there any way to tell whether
the one I'm using is the right one?  

What might be causing these failures?

Cheers,
