There seems to be an issue with dotfile locking ot actually achieving
mutual exclusion. 8-( I really have no idea what's causing this.
Here's the code:

root=/org/security-tracker.debian.org/website
cd "$root/secure-testing"
if dotlockfile -r 1  -l stamps/lock; then
    trap "dotlockfile -u stamps/lock" 0
else
    exit 0
fi

Any ideas?  Is there a better approach to locking from shell scripts?
