There are some known locking bugs in 0.8.7, that have been fixed in the 
meantime.  You may want to try 0.9.4 from the RHEL 6.2 beta instead, 
which has tackled a lot of the locking bugs.  Short of that, the only 
solution is to restart libvirtd (the problem is that the older releases 
had some bugs where locks were improperly released if the domain exited 
in the middle of a command).
