It seems that mhonarc tried to create a lock on the archive (see below

implement this. Can I just do it from the comand line using -force. Some
examples would be most welcome. 

Thanks.

Since you may have more than one process trying to update the 
archive at the same time, using -force to override mhonarc's
locking is probably a bad idea.

It might be better to change the LOCKDELAY and LOCKTRIES resources,
or to update the archive from a cron script instead of piping
mail directly into mhonarc.

lockdelay can also be specified from the command line, e.g.,
  mhonarc -lockdelay 15
