I tried that and that worked fine:

    > mutt_dotlock -t /afs/cs/user/dpetrou/huy

mutt_dotlock returned nothing.

P.S.: I'm not subscribed to the mutt list, so people respond to me as
well as to the list.  David T-G's mail is the only one I received --
I'm unsure if anyone else responded but forgot to cc: me.
