I could touch /foo/bar/.lock without a permission error, but
I needed to do a little more. I needed to at least do these
two chmod's:

  $ chmod g+w /foo/bar/.hg
  $ chmod g+w /foo/bar/.hg/store

FYI -

  $ hg --version
  Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 1.0)
  $ uname -a
  SunOS ... 5.10 Generic_120011-14 sun4u sparc
