It seems to be failing to rename the temporary directory to lock/held.
Though I'm not sure why. I can say that most likely it is a problem that
the sftp server is sill holding on to the lock/pending-XXYYZZ/info file,
and until that file is closed it won't allow you to remname the pending
directory.

Otherwise it might be that 'lock/held/' already exists. But my guess is
that it doesn't.

The sftp tranport code seems to be explicitly calling file.close() so I
don't really know why the server would keep the file open.

Maybe it is something to do with your version of paramiko. Have you
tried other versions?
