[Samba] Excel "Disk Full" when overwriting file

Help,

I'm using:

Operating System:
	SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (i586)
	VERSION = 10
	PATCHLEVEL = 1

Upgraded Samba to:
Samba version 3.0.26a-SerNet-SuSE

On a windows machine the user can see the directories and files.  They 
can access the files in say excel but when they go to save the changes 
it gives them a message of Disk Full.  New Files they can save, no 
problem.  If they pull up a file in notepad and then save the changes 
the message will be "The process cannot access the file because another 
process has locked a portion of the file." You hit ok, and get the save 
as dialog box.  If you don't change the name of the file and hit save, 
it saves it.  Weird.

Here is a copy of the smb.conf file:

# smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full commented
# version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SuSE
# Date: 2004-04-06

	realm = CYC.COM
	workgroup = CYC.COM
	interfaces = 127.0.0.1 eth1
	bind interfaces only = true
	printing = cups
	printcap name = cups
	load printers = yes

	printer admin = @ntadmin, root, administrator
	map to guest = Bad User

	# the following fixes a weird problem with winxp sp2 systems and
	# netbios aliases on samba. - mgb 10/20/04
	smb ports = 139

	netbios name = HOME
	netbios aliases = cyc host
	server string = zeus

	hosts allow = 10.1.1. 127.
	security = ADS

	
	socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
	name resolve order = host wins lmhosts bcast
	wins server = 10.1.1.15 10.1.1.251

	default case = lower
	case sensitive = no
	create mask = 0664
	directory mask = 0775
	include = /etc/samba/smb.conf.all
	domain logons = Yes
	domain master = No
	passdb backend = smbpasswd

	comment = PDF creator

	print command = /usr/bin/smbprngenpdf -J '%J' -c %c -s %s -u '%u' -z %z
	create mask = 0600
[printers]
	comment = All Printers
	path = /var/tmp
	printable = Yes
	create mask = 0600
	browseable = No
[print$]
	comment = Printer Drivers
	path = /var/lib/samba/drivers
	write list = @ntadmin root
	force group = ntadmin
	create mask = 0664
	directory mask = 0775

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
John Herrrmann
