I have a same problem with samba CVS 3.0.1pre1 on FreeBSD 5.1 (sparc64 and
i386).
ls -l /home/all/
total 40
-r--r--r--  1 root  users  11776 Oct  1 13:17 excel.xls
-r--r--r--  1 root  users  19456 Oct  1 13:29 file.doc

I use Word and Excel from Office 2000sp3. Word open file file.doc, Excel
cannot open file excel.xls with error "Cannot find excel.xls".
On samba 2.2.8a Excel successfully open read-only files.

Thanks!
