[Samba] samba with nfs mount in "path" and MS Office App's

[Robert Adkins II]

Review all of your permissions and confirm that those permissions are the
same for all users having this issues on the server that is sharing the NFS
share.

I have a feeling that this is a share/permissions issue as much as it could
be an NFS share issue.
