lock-buffer doesn't support what you are evidently trying to do.  Its
intended use is to prevent simultaneous modifications of a file by two
users, or by a single user from two separate instances of Emacs.  You
want reference counting (and probably also locking the file in the
filesystem), and that isn't supported.
