What is causing this error ...

[Wilson, Sue EIS-NWD]

We just started a backup process ...
To protect news we run the q

start stop script to have it stop before the backup starts f<< this works
fine

when the backup completes  it runs the script to start it back up again ...
it does not start

so I have been running the script manually to get it going, not I get thses
error message every few minutes all day long 

cat: cannot open /usr/local/news/run/LOCK.innwatch
cat: cannot open /usr/local/news/run/LOCK.innwatch

What do the mean and what do I need to do to stop them ...???

this is what news.err and news.crit are reporting
