Adobe Photoshop problem with saving on Samba shares

We are experiencing problems with Adobe Photoshop and Samba, all
versions up to 2.0.6. We run Samba off Compaq Alphaservers (ie 64 bit).
Symptoms:
1) On doing a "Save As" in Photoshop, we intermittently get:
"Could not save as F:\<filename> because the file is already in
use or was left open".
A zero length file is left on the Samba share.
2) Problem only occurs on Samba shares
3) The frequency of the problem appears to reduce when Samba logging is
turned on which perhaps indicates a timing problem between Samba and
PC.
I attach segments of log files (debug level 3) showing the point at
which the failure occurs.

************************************************************************
I would appreciate advice on how to circumvent this in the short term.
Is it possible to fix it in Samba? I can provide full log file to
anyone who can help/fix this problem - hopefuilly the above segments
give an idea of the general location of the problem.
All advice would be welcome, we need to run a student class, and this
fault is currently making it impossible - students have lost work etc
bnecause they don't understand what is happening.
Thanks in advance.
