Check out this folder, it's got a ton of pictures of my door lock. In my case the door locked manually but not electrically.
I'd take the door apart and see if anything is bent or seized.

5 Piece Auto Trim and Molding Tool Set
You can find a trim removal set at most any auto parts store or Harbor Freight.
While you have the door opened up , you might want to change the door cable. This won't fix your current problem, but will save you from doing it later. Welsh Enterprises sells on Ebay too. This is the direct link to the cable.

I had a similar issue on my driver's door. It would only lock sometimes and other times it was impossible to manually or automatically lock it (it would however always unlock once locked). It ended up being the lock actuator was "sticking" so I replaced the entire door latch mechanism. No issues so far.
