[Samba] W2K Office97 File Open or Save problem

This would likely be unix permissions or the ACL mapping, similar to the 
last message about excel 97.

You should look into your unix permissions, and if that doesn't help, 
disable ACL support on that share.

I am not a member of the samba team,
and anything that I say may not be as
accurate as a response from one of the
team.  I reply to save those more
qualified time, which can more usefully
be spent developing SAMBA further.
