Thanks!
The problem is the "@" in your system-name.
Can you change it to something without an "@", eg
  elroddDesk.enet.sharplabs.com
?

I don't think an "@" is valid in a hostname, is it?

filelock.c:current_lock_owner assumes that the username is "everything
before the last @"; ie there may in theory be "@" in the username, but
not in the hostname.
