It's not sufficient to have any lam daemon running, you have to start
"your own" process - I suppose that you're not running lamboot before
starting your task. Try running lamhalt (it should fail in this case) and
then lamboot <lamhosts> as the user which is trying to run the
application. If this doesn't help - you found an interesting case ;)
