Do you really want a global lockfile? My guess is not -- omit the above
line.

Here you seem to be mixing the global lockfile with a local one. The
local will probably suffice -- truncate the above line after the second
colon.

Here you'll need to specify a local lockfile name. Instead of LOCKFILE,
which could be confused with the (I expect) late global lock file
$LOCKFILE, I'd suggest a more situation-specific name like mytest.lock.

A simpler syntax has already been suggested. At any rate, I believe the
major problem with your pipe recipe not running was that it was using
the same local locfile as your first recipe.
Hope it helps,
