What does this error mean?

Try again with --verbose flag:

sudo -u nginx php --define apc.enable_cli=1 occ files:scan -vvv -- rob.nicholson

then it shows exactly at which file it derails.

It looks like a file is locked, is there a file used by another process?

Hope this helps,
much luck!

Thanks for the comment. Will try later. Yes, I’m lurking around this area because we’ve got 423 errors on the client continually around a file/folder that’s been deleted. So it’s locking…
