Thanks Andy and Datakid/Musicman/L

That worked perfectly. I deleted the lockfile and also bumped the NUMBER_OF_PARALLEL_ENCODERS and I am now converting my files to .ogg but the flv file are ending up as 0 bytes. I took the command that it is executing from the log file and ran it at the command line. It doesn't spit anytyhing back out at me and just goes back to a command prompt, I was hoping to see some kind of error message there. It is not a permisions problem because it does create the file, its just empty. The command I tried at command line that returned nothing was:

/usr/bin/mencoder -quiet /opt/Plone-2.5.5/zeocluster/client1/var/files/Members/jagaworktest/videos/8pounder.mpg -o /var/www/plumi-flv-files/8pounder.flv -really-quiet -of lavf -lavfopts i_certify_that_my_video_stream_does_not_use_b_frames -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=56 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=flv:keyint=50:vbitrate=150:mbd=2:mv0:trell:v4mv:cbp:last_pred=3 -vf scale=320:240 -srate 22050
