[linux-cifs-client] CIFS home mount won't allow KDE to run

Hi all,
I have a Linux client that has my home dir mounted from a fileserver. I
mount with this line in /etc/fstab:
//alexandria/paul /home/pwaldo cifs
credentials=/etc/thecus_credentials.txt 0 0
When I try to start KDE, it hangs very quickly into the process, with no
information in .xsession-errors. I moved ~/.kde out of the way to start
fresh, and I get this:
WARNING: Problem deleting stale lockfile
/home/pwaldo/.kde/share/config/kpersonalizerrc.lock
I'm not sure why it's complaining, because shell file operations seem to
work OK:
$ ls -l /home/pwaldo/.kde/share/config/kpersonalizerrc.lock
-rwxrwxrw- 1 pwaldo smbusers 26 2007-06-15 08:19
/home/pwaldo/.kde/share/config/kpersonalizerrc.lock
$ rm /home/pwaldo/.kde/share/config/kpersonalizerrc.lock
rm: remove regular file
`/home/pwaldo/.kde/share/config/kpersonalizerrc.lock'? y
$ ls -l /home/pwaldo/.kde/share/config/kpersonalizerrc.lock
ls: /home/pwaldo/.kde/share/config/kpersonalizerrc.lock: No such file or
directory
The reason I think this is a CIFS problem is that I used to mount my
home via NFS without issue, and started encountering this problem when I
switched to CIFS. Server and client info below. Thanks for any help
you can provide!
