I'm looking for a command line method for unlocking files.

If you have the Developer Tools installed then you can use /Developer/Tools/SetFile

Here's an example of how to unlock a file:

/Developer/Tools/SetFile -a l /path/to/file

'chflags nouchg /path/to/file' should also work. Requires only a standard install.
