extraneous local lock?

I have a shell script, myscript, that I want to execute that makes
some temp files when it runs, so I need to post a lock file:

        :0 h :myscript.lock
        * ^some_key_word:
        {
           myscript >> xyz

           .
           .
           .
        }

but I get an "extraneous locallock file, ignored" message in the log file.

Does anyone know why?

        Thanks,

        John
