Seems to me that you are using netatalk for Mac connectivity. If my memory doesn't play tricks on me, netatalk currently does not support file locking.

I haven't been able to test it myself, but maybe you could. What is the situation if two Macintosh clients try to access the same file after the first has opened it?
