Обсуждение: the problem plz solve

What exactly are you trying to do (coping data, program, ...)?
On what platform (most probably some sort of windows)?
What filesystem are you using?
With which version and package of postgresql are you working?
What directory are you talking about by 8.1 folder?

The error message says it clearly, something with the directory where the lock
file should be created is not correctly setup (probably permission).

Best regards
Ivo
