[OpenAFS] sqlite on AFS will not work, even with whole-file locking

Are you saying that the locks don't make it to the fileserver (so two  
processes on different machines can flock() the same file). Or that  
the file isn't flushed to the server when it is unlocked, so the  
second machine doesn't see the changes that the first machine has made?

Thanks,

Simon.
