I'm getting the error "could not lock RRD"

I built hobbit from source and initially it complained that the
libraries weren't there so I installed the rrdtool package and tried
again. This time it built so I assume that it had all it needed.

If you can let me know which files need what permissions I'll check
when I check the nfs share suggestion later.

I've seen this rrd error in the past when rrd libraries, binaries, or
data files had incorrect permissions or were missing (unavailable).

Hi
The directory is a nfs share. I'll try moving the data directory to a
local disk and see if that fixes it.

It's an error from the rrdtool library. I honestly have no idea what
could be causing this.

Is the /var/sites/hobbit/non-secure//data/rrd an NFS filesystem?
Perhaps there's some issue with locking on networked filsystems.
