	Can you reproduce this on a test share NOT using
	nfs? That would eliminate nfs problems from the
	debugging... (step 1)

	Indeed, is the reproducible, or does it only happen
	occasionally?

	That's interesting: I assume you're doing so from the
	command line on the server, so the result **should**
	be a file which Samba can write.

	However, Windows people often use a "rename" scheme
	to keep around unchanged and backup copies of the 
	user's work (eminently reasonable: Windows dies a lot)
	You may need to change the permissions of .bak or other
	odd files.

	Try setting force create mode as the second step, as
	suggested in 
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/ch05_03.html


	Then see what files Project creates as the third, whether or
	not the second yields any results.
