Hmm. Those are the files that control file locking. They should 
be there. 

What do you mean by 'it stopped working?' I.e., can you connect
with smbclient, or is this only a problem with browsing. Do you
get any error message? Have you tried running testparm to see
if your config files are corrupted? Did you kill the smbd and
nmbd after you changed the names? Also, I thought that the 
shared memory stuff was introduced with the .17alphas (I'm going
from memory, so that may not be right.) If that's the case, and
you think you are running .16p11, you might see if you have a 
version conflict.
