Locked files in Encounter Library Characterizer

I'm still having this problem.

Here is a sample log file:

Here is my elccfg file. I am trying to run spice simulations on the local machine, so I have not started ipsc or ipsd. Is that okay? I would think the error would be different if that were the case. And anyway, I have tried using ipsc and ipsd as well. I still get the same problem. 

Here is also my elccfg file: 

 #Specify the environment variable settings.
EC_SIM_USE_LSF=1;
EC_SIM_LSF_CMD=" ";
EC_SIM_LSF_PARALLEL=2;
EC_SIM_TYPE="hspice";
EC_SIM_NAME="hspice";
EC_SPICE_SIMPLIFY=1;
EC_CHAR="ECSM-TIMING ECSM-POWER";
 
#Specify the characterization inputs.
 
SUBCKT="cells.sp";
MODEL="allModels.scs";
DESIGNS="AND2X1 AND2X2";
SETUP="setup.default";
PROCESS="typical";

Does anyone see anything wrong with this?? Do I need to try to reinstall elc? Please help!

It looks like this problem is related to some kind of configuration or installation error. I don't know what it is yet but for some reason elc won't work on a particular set of machines on our network. Other machines seem to work correctly, so for the time being I will be using those. Hopefully we can get it working on the original machines because they are faster.
