File locking Issues

I had sent an early inquiry as to why an NT application called Statemate
/ Magnum would complain and fail on a file create / change when any other
file function of MS office tools had no problems.  Unless I configured the
share to do a "Force Create Mode = 0777", then this application worked.

I've been reading the online copy of oreilly's SAMBA book.  Ran across the
"oplocks" section. Could this be the case / solution?  Sounds likely.  I
suppose to find out if this applicaiton uses oplocks, I should place a call
to the software's support staff.  Please let me know if I'm chasing a 
"wild hare" here.  Thank You.
