Users Lock Out

I know there was an earlier thread about this but it has now happened again. I had a user tell me that they could not save to central until I relinquished. Here is the David Copperfield!! I was never in the file at all that day. I made a local copy that morning but never opened it, I was working in the Architectural file instead that is linked into the MEP.

So this morning, I made a new local to open and relinquish but it stated the other user needed to relinquish and save to central before I could open. It was stuck once again in a loop between the 2 users, now locking everyone out of the file.

Why is this happening? Another strange part that has been happening is, when we save our MEP to central we get a message that someone is accessing the central file, however the central file it is telling us that someone is accessing is the Arch that is linked into our file.

Correct me if I am wrong, but a linked file only updates by two ways. Opening at the beginning and if I go to managed links and reload. So why would it be telling me that someone is accessing the linked model making me wait for the save to complete. This can ball it up for quite sometime. This message should not even appear!!
