[Samba] Offline Folders on Win XP issues.

Hi,
I have searched for a problem similar to mine, but haven't seen it reported.

Problem:
Using offline folders on Win XP, I can:
* Synchronize
* Work locally on Win XP
* Synch back to Samba

I cannot:
* Open OpenOffice files marked as offline *when I'm connected* to my samba
server. I get a "file not found" response when double-clicking in an Win
Explorer window. However, the file is visible when browsing.

Solution:
By chance, I removed oplocking on the samba server, and now it works!

Is this a known problem? Is there another solution?

Samba 3.0.24 on Kubuntu Feisty.

I have included my smb.conf with NO oplocks (line 34-35 I believe)
