The gnucash file should be writable by the owner.  The LCK file is
usally in the same directory as the data file, but I'm wondering if it
ended up in the /home/ewb/.gnucash directory 'by accident'.  (that is a
default directory that is sometimes used to  store data.)

try 
cd /home/ewb
find . -print |grep LCK

to see if there really is a LCK somewhere else.
