Well, it's been a while, but I am able to reproduce this issue successfully.  I have the following paths on my Samba server:

/storage/user1/temp
/storage/user2/temp

My share (\\server\checkout) points to /storage/%U, so each user connects to \\server\checkout and gets his own individual directory.

In each of these folders I create a file called "LockDoc1.doc".  I use "ls -i" to verify that the indoe is, indeed, different.  I log in to the terminal server under the user1 account, open the document, then log in under the user2 account and try to open the document, and I get a message that the document is already in use by user1 and I can open read-only or wait for it to become available.  All of the connections to the server come in under the same PID.

Since I'm able to reproduce it, I'll grab some debug logs and PCAPs and see what I can find.

Thanks,
Nick
