Ah, it appears that there is a bogus !!!SuperLock!!! file hanging
around. This is a meta-lock over the per-file locks that emacs
maintains. It should never exist but for a tiny bit of time while the
per-file locks are created. Note that emacs tries to delete it after
it gives up waiting for the !!!SuperLock!!!--but that deletion fails
with EACCES.
I'd be very interested to see the results of
ls -ld /var/tmp /var/tmp/!!!SuperLock!!!
