hmm, i totally disclaim the word expert but urpmi should work in 10.1, have 
you checked that the other tools work, urpmq and urpmf?
presumably you are running it as root or sudo'ed? though that message is not 
what you get when you run without privileges.
ftr i have the .LOCK and .RPMLOCK present in /var/lib/urpmi/ even when the 
database isn't locked are they the files you meant?
since urpmi is a frontend for rpm perhaps you have lockfiles in /var/lib/rpm/?
look for file of the form __db*
