Probably related to this:
http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/beagle?view=revision&revision=4897

"File.Delete requires write permission on the file! This is different
than the POSIX behaviour and this bug was fixed in mono recently. As a
result, with mono-2, beagle tmpfiles could not be deleted.
Workaround this problem by using the Mono.Unix Unlink syscall."

Lockfiles are created readonly (not sure what goes wrong if we create
them read-write). r4897 fixed the most common branch when a lockfile
could be deleted but we missed the directory delete possibility:
  System.IO.File.Delete
  System.IO.Directory.RecursiveDelete
  System.IO.Directory.Delete
  Beagle.Daemon.LuceneCommon.Create

I will try to look into this when I get some time.
