[Samba] Can't 'save-as' from MS Word

Samba Gurus,
I've got a Solaris box running samba 2.0.7.  A couple of users on
Windows XP clients are reporting problems saving files from within MS
Word, and Wordpad to the samba share, which of course is a mapped drive.
They get an error saying "This is not a valid file name"....  These XP
boxes do have the reg hacks plainpassword.reg and signorseal.reg
installed.   The work around is to save a file to a local directory and
then copy the file over to the samba drive via windows explorer, but
that s*cks!   

Any ideas?  this is driving us bananas.

Thanks,

--Gene
