You are getting bitten by standard unix permissions.

1) Your directory is "sticky" this means that the users would have to be the
owner ( eg nobody here ) to remove the file ( just like /tmp )

Ahhhh right...got it

2) You don't have a force user = nobody in your [share]

Doh!!! :)

So the temp files are probably created as the userid, but when office goes
to remove the old file it can't ( not nobody ).

What you need to do is take a step back and decide what you want and then we
can help you make it happen.

1) Do you want files to be "owned", but still managable ( r/w ) by everyone?

I assumed they needed to be owned by nobody so everyone can modify word/excel files. It's a share drive mapped on their xp machines

2) Do you just want a anonymous share where everyone dumps files as a common
user?

Basically yes. 

3) Do you want users to only be able to update there own files?

No. I thought that's what the home shares would be for. 

Both of these are possible with some small changes to your config.

Cheers,
Eric
