PINE: Can't open mailbox lock, access is readonly

We have a user who is getting the message "Can't open mailbox lock, access
is readonly" when trying to use pine for mail. Where should I be looking?
It seems all the permissions on the home directory, mail directory, and
/var/spool/mail/<user> is ok.

Thanks
