I am having big problems with my lock file,

Here is my .procmailrc file.

<rcfile elided>

The message "Extraneous locallockfile ignored" is generated when you
have a recipe with a locallocalfile but without the 'c' flag whose
action is a nested block.  I.e., something like:

        :0:
        * conditions here
        {
            ...
or
        :0: some.file
        * conditions here
        {
            ...

Since that doesn't occur directly in the rcfile you included in your
message, it must occur in one of the rcfiles that you INCLUDERC.  When
you find it you'll need to decide whether some locking really does need
to take place across the entire block (say, a file is checked or read
at the beginning and modified later on), or if you can just delete the
second colon and the (possibily absent) filename after it.
