Sorry pal, my bad... I read it wrong :). You are using posix-locks. Is there a way to run the command getting the error through strace when it occours? Strace shows every call made to the filesystem by the software and show you the return value of each call. With strace -a you can attach it to a process, them you have to force the error, and them check to see what's going on. If you can't find it, past the result at http://gluster.pastebin.com/ and show it to us please. Try to narrow the moment of the error as such as possible in the strace log as it can get quiet big. Using strace -tt or -ttt (I'm not sure) will help you with that.
