New info to add:

If I access the share as \\corpsrv\accounting, I can write to the files.  If I 
access it via its drive letter I cannot.  I've just mapped it via the 
command:
net use m: \\corpsrv\accounting

Also it is not just Excel.  I've tried to open a text file with Notepad and I 
get the same results.

Any ideas?
