If you are using the mysql CLI at the same time as SilverStripe is trying to build, you can sometimes cause this issue (usually Windows) - just exit the CLI :)

That's certainly an unusual cause for that error message; it is MySQL stating a lock issue. I'd expect that sort of concurrancy fault with Microsoft Access but not MySQL...
This error from my experience is generally a problem when your disk has run out of space, or your database is corrupt, or if you have file permission problems. (The latter possibly being the cause of your fault?)
