First idea: change of username (rcs lock is saved under your login name). Then looking at debug would be helpful: 1. View->Message Pane 2. Settings panel->Selected & "lyxvc - Version control" 3. Switch back to Output panel 4. run your erring command and check (post here) the message. You can also play with the commands after "doVCCommandCall:" msg on your own to check what is going on if you know how to work with terminal/rcs. Pavel
