I do not think you need to use "sudo" for the steps mentioned by Oliver unless you are locking and unlocking as root. Please try it again without sudo:

Also can you try the following along with above ?

1. cat /etc/pam.d/gnome-screensaver

Also list the contents of any files mentioned inside /etc/pam.d/gnome-screensaver with @include directive.

2. Can you do the following and see whether unlocking works ?
    sudo chmod 4755 /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver
    kill `pidof gnome-screensaver`; gnome-screensaver
