Howdy,
Hmm, does it have anything in it.. perhaps a number? I'd be curious if some process attempted to open that file, and then somehow got stuck.

Yep, each one has a number... turns out I had one in EVERY /httpdocs/ folder. These had been "Restored" from a backup to a new box.
I also had a /home/example.com/.backup.lock in the root of every domain as well.
If you look at the number in that file -- do you see a running process with that particular PID? If so, what process is it?
-Eric
Nope... must've been processes from the old server (pre-migration).
Gotcha -- it should be safe to delete those .lock files then.
