samba - May 2002 - tdb_open_ex

I encountered the following problem, can anyone help me?

when i use "nmblookup -B 192.168.1.255 redmaple" on my linux box named
redmaple, something like
"(tdb(null)): could not open file
/usr/local/samba/var/locks/unexpected.tdb.
No such file or directory" is output, and the name lookup failes.
my samba is 2.2.3a, IP address of redmaple is 192.168.1.5
rgds
aloha

Ignore the message.  nmbd creates it as needed.
