All files in $ORACLE_HOME and all oracle data directories also make sure the Oracle executable and the tnslsnr executable have the setuid bit set.
However from your description it looks like their might be a dangling .lck file. Each instance has a lock file, and those are located in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
dbstart will complain when starting a database and the lock file hasn't been removed by the last shutdown
