Just wanted to post an update.....you guys were dead on. Finally got to the parts store and picked up some electrical parts cleaner. Shot some into the lock, and presto! It worked like new. I had to spray it quite a few times to get all the gunk out of it.....there was soooooo much! I couldn't belive it. Now there are big nasty brown spots on the parking lot 
(luckily there are little drain slits in the bottom of the doors). I have the powdered graphite, but i'm gonna wait till tommorow to put it in, just to make sure it's dry. Thanks to everyone for the help! Tommorow is "change the rear brakes day"
