If you want to see what RemoteNB is seeing then you can turn on
connection logging by setting the SysLog level to 250 as follows:

*SysLog RemoteNB 250

That will then include a complete protocol trace in the SysLog log
file. You should find that opening the folder in Pine causes the
server to tell RemoteNB the lock had been stolen after which the
connection will be closed. RemoteNB will then reopen it the next
time it needs to do anything.
