[Samba] Excel

[___cliff rayman___]

the permissions of the directory where the spreadsheet is stored
must allow write access for everyone who is allowed to modify
the spreadsheet files.  it sounds like excel is attempting to rename
a work file into the save file name, but it does not have the directory
permissions to do so.
