Subject: Majordomo and mhonarc: UNKNOWN MAILER ERROR #13 ?!

I am running a list using majordomo, with the following alias set up to do 
automatic archiving of list messages using the "MHonArc" package:

meteorobs-outgoing :include:/home/majordomo/lists/meteorobs,
	"| /home/majordomo/bin/wrapper digest -r -C -l meteorobs-digest
	meteorobs-digest-outgoing",  "| /home/majordomo/bin/wrapper
	archive2.pl -a -m -f
	/home/majordomo/archive/meteorobs/meteorobs.archive",
	meteorobs-mhonarc

And then:

meteorobs-mhonarc "|/home/majordomo/mhonarc/mhonarc -add -quiet
	-outdir /home/majordomo/mhonarc/meteorobs"

The problem I have is when subscribers send messages using their mailers' 
"burst" or "batch" modes: two or more messages arrive at my server in quick 
succession, and the second one seems to interrupt the processing of the first, 
resulting in the following error message being mailed to me:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Returned mail: unknown mailer error 13
To: owner-meteorobs-outgoing

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
ERROR: Unable to create /home/majordomo/mhonarc/meteorobs/.mhonarc.lck after 10 
tries
554 "|/home/majordomo/mhonarc/mhonarc -add -quiet -outdir 
/home/majordomo/mhonarc/meteorobs"... unknown mailer error 13
Receiving 11
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


My question (and this is more of a MHonArc question, but I thought other 
majordomo mavens may have encountered it): How can I fix this?? I.e., how can I 
obviate the need for the ".mhonarck.lck" locking, or better yet, simply increase 
the number of retries that majordomo does, up to some fairly large number?

Thanks in advance,
Lew Gramer
