More details, please.  Do you just call (lock-buffer) or (lock-buffer
"~/file")?  One emacs instance or two?

As I understand the docs, file locks are not associated with a buffer
but the emacs instance and (lock-buffer) is just a shorthand for

  (when (buffer-modified-p)
    (lock-file (buffer-file-name)))
