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

[Daniel Müller]

This is a item concerning locking and msoffice-files, nfs. I bet not
msoffice-files are working. Disable locking on the nfs shares and it should
work.

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.
