Andreas, You showed only two /tmp/_dm* files. Does that match with the list in /usr/fox/wp/data/dmnames? If you run dmstatus without any additional parameter, it looks for the list of DM names in the file above and check the corresponding /tmp/_dm<DMNAMES> files. There seems to be some problem with file locking or non-existent /tmp/_dm<DMNAMES> files. I've attached my home-brewed script file chkdm (sorry, others on the list won't see it as it's stripped by freelist.org), which probably won't work for you since I look for a specific script file name we use (start_dm). But you can dissect it and build your own if you wish.
