System.IO.IOException: Lock obtain timed out - Problem indexing with lucene.net?

Hi,

I'm using the asp.net framework lucene.net to index text to be able to search it easily.
This has been working fine, but suddenly I got problems with having write permissions to the directories that lucene uses (index and temp).

I tried to delete the former indexing files, but I'm stuck at this error message:

System.IO.IOException: Lock obtain timed out: Lock@D:\xxxxxxxxxxx\Temp\lucene-9ad3e71bc5841b99fcf8c97ba8b78a57-write.lock at Lucene.Net.Store.Lock.Obtain(Int64 lockWaitTimeout) at Lucene.Net.Index.IndexWriter..ctor(Directory d, Analyzer a, Boolean create, Boolean closeDir) at Lucene.Net.Index.IndexWriter..ctor(String path, Analyzer a, Boolean create)

I didn't change anything related to it, and I checked the write permissions, which are ok. I also still have the lockdir defined in the web.config file:

Anyone knows what could be the issue here?
