Is your backup agent still running when this occurs? That will cause that error.

Uninsall the Lotus Notes from that m/c and install it again.It will not show you that error again.

Try to compact or fixup the database of that user. When I met this error, I did the fixup and compact, then It is OK.

I seem to recall that this can happen if somebody has opened a database file (NSF, NTF, etc) on a local or network system by using the the file Browse button at the bottom of the Open Database dialog (rather than via Server and Database). The user's local system gets a lock on the database at the OS level, and the Domino server cannot access it until that lock is released.

Can't fix up the database so I restarted the service.. still got the same error. Lastly I reboot the server itself....that resolved the problem
