Thanks for this suggestion Nigel.

If it is NFS file locking, I'm not sure what to do. I've tried running
the 6.2 assistant, and I get the same problem as with 6.3.

I wonder if it wasn't the upgrade to 6.3 but rather some NFS quirkiness
that is causing the problem.

Maybe it was broken in 6.2 though and I just nevere noticed. Until
recently, I have predominantly used the primary server to run IDL -
except for memory hog jobs. I'm pretty sure it was working from the
other machines at some point though.

I think I'll try running the 6.0 version (I think I still have it
around) and see if that works or not.
