[Samba] NFS mounted samba share

[Daniel Bourque]

That fixed it. Thank you so much.

I had tried to disable oplocks , that didn't work. I should buy myself 
an RTFM mug...

I agree that it's not the best idea, it's a temporary way to move data 
from server to server with breaking user's mappings. I'll change their 
mappings in their login scripts.
