I'll throw a longshot out there. a few times I accidentally tried to
purge, and didnt specify a folder so it was just hanging. I had to kill
the client, which left the purge suspended. Anyway, if I did that if
left everything locked. I had to run this:
<dataserver_loadpoint>/intralink/diag/job_ctrl stop dschangeme
<dataserver_loadpoint>/intralink/diag/job_ctrl start dschangeme
see tpi 34500. This is not your same situation but may be a clue.
maybe search on job_ctrl command.
