That is pretty much the same as what I ruled, except I picture it as
immediately having a radius of 6 meters without having to expand like a
bubble.

This is a major difference between our interpretations. IMHO it works like
this: *crappy ascii art: on*

|

* |* * = barrier
* O |* -| = walls
-----|* O = shaman

IOW, the barrier appears on the other side of walls so as to form a
complete sphere whenever possible.

The barrier would be locked in place in the situation I sketched above,
but if the horizontal wall isn't there, it could move up and down. I feel
the barrier should move with the spell lock.
