There has been blocked for additions to the site

Question

I am trying to execute a console application which updates creation dates on specified items in sharepoint lists.

When I try to execute I get this error:

There has been blocked for additions to the site. Contact system administrator to solve the problem.

I then went to the Central Administration to check if Quotas and Locks was set to Not Locked. Then afterwards running the stsadm commando

stsadm -o getsitelock -url http://mysite

Which returned SiteLock Lock="none", so those 2 matched.

I have debugged the console application and made it console.writeline each step it takes and it gets to the item.update(); part and that's when I get the above message.

Do you guys know another way around to solve this issue?
