Thanks for the input Kevin. I am guessing that I did something similar to what you mention in your post, though I don't recall exactly what. What was troubling was that no matter how many times I reopened the Catalog using the machine where the write lock originated followed by a proper exit from C1Pro and ejecting the drive, the write lock remained. You would think that the app would get rid of that writelock once that was done, but I went through the open / exit / eject routine for that catalog a half dozen times and it still remained. ( I was unaware of the writelock file at that time. )
There were a few threads over on the phaseone.com Capture One forum talking about this, but I was not able to access that forum for almost a week due to a bad favorites link. See this thread:
http://www.luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?topic=92841.0 or I probably would have been able to fix it much sooner.
Here is one of them at phaseone, dealing with the Mac version.

1. Find the catalog.
2. Right click and select show package contents.
3. Delete the file called writelock.

In Windows it is a bit different. Navigate to the root of your Catalog folder and delete the file there named
writelock.
