Thanks for your reply Andrea.  It didn't make sense to me that the two would be
connected either.  Your reply gave me the confidence I needed to look elsewhere.

In the geoserver.log, well above where the lock file problem was listed, there
is a message about not having write access to the directory where the server is
trying to create *.fix files.  I fixed the permission problem, restarted the
server, and this is allowing access to the Layers page.

Thanks for your prod.  It's always good to get someone else's perspective.
