As far as I know, sqlite works just fine on NFS.  I've used lots of
sqlite databases via NFS.  Do you have a source for this claim, and
more information on how it fail?  If it was true, gcompris and
OpenOffice would not work when the home directory is on NFS, and both
work just fine.

This one describe recovery after crash, and not a generic sqlite
failure on NFS.

No idea.  Perhaps a tool to unlock a file, or rename, copy and remove
to get rid of the file system lock?

Happy hacking,
