If you don't have many users on your system, go to the project directory and then into the "&PH&" subdirectory there and delete all of the files (these are output files from the background process output to stdout and stderr). Then re-run your job and after it aborts look at any and all file...

Are the DB2 stages visible in your designer palette? Also, if you edit the jobs what do the icons look like and can you open the stages?

It might have been written by them, but this shell script is not part of the standard install. I've just checked 4 of our systems here.

It is complicated to find out which locks to remove. My preference is to enable the deadlock daemon and just wait for it to clean up things once the client session is gone.

mmanes - the commands are correct, but don't help much in this case. The device/inode numbers as well as the "user no" (not the pid) can be retrieved using the "LIST.READU EVERY" command and the user needs administrator rights in order to execute the commands.
