[Users] problems creating vz cache

[Samuel Vogel]

Hey guys,

I am just new to openvz and can't figure out how to create a debian vz 
template.
This is what I did so far:
Install debians 2.6.26 openvz kernel from the etch backports repository.
Install pkg-cacher, vzpkg2 and vztmpl2-debian from repo.opensource-sw.net.

The documentation talk about yum and rpm every. This confuses me a bit. 
I run Etch on my HN and also intend to use it in the VEs.

As I understand it, I have to create a template cache now using vzpkgcache.
When I simply type "vzpkgcache", this is the output:
# vzpkgcache
ERROR: Cannot create /var/lib/vz/lock/100001.lck lockfile
ERROR: Can't find free VE ID
ERROR: Cannot create /var/lib/vz/lock/100001.lck lockfile
ERROR: Can't find free VE ID
ERROR: Cannot create /var/lib/vz/lock/100001.lck lockfile

ERROR: Can't find free VE ID
ERROR: Cannot create /var/lib/vz/lock/100001.lck lockfile
ERROR: Can't find free VE ID

When I supply "debian-etch" as template name, I tells me this:
# vzpkgcache debian-etch
Warning: No debian-etch OS template found for x86_64 architecture
ERROR: OS template debian-etch (debian-etch-x86_64-default) not found

Also in the precreated template caches on openvz.org I can only find an 
i386 version of debian. However I am running on amd64.
Could someone hint me on how to create an template cache for debian etch 
on amd64?

Any help appreciated,
Samy
