You need to be more accurate in your descriptions if you want help here.

You can't checkout files with the Update command. You must have used
Checkout. And they are locked? Does that mean you set the svn:needs-lock
property on them when you checked them in?

Which means you must have done a Get-lock in order to make them writeable?

What do you mean by 'reconnect'? What do you mean by 'check them back
out'? Are you doing a fresh Checkout, a Get-lock, or what?

Are you sure you have got the locks on these files? Did you refresh your
browser view (F5)? Did you try the Check for Modifications dialog (which
shows locks status)?
