If .lockfiles exists, then

rm -f .lock_$lockfile[$p]

has not been executed. So lapw1 binary is not running correctly.
Try running
lapw1 uplapw1_1.def
from case directory.
What C-shell are you using? If it's tcsh 6.15.01 or newer, you have to 
apply a small patch to your wien2k package.

& at the end means that command will be executed in background, so 
script can carry on without waiting for command to be finished.
