Diego, I've found in the source code that certain group, acl, file attr, caching logging only occurs at logging level 10. If you still have that repeatable test case and any quiet server time, log level = 10 may give more insight, if you haven't tried this already.
Unfortunately it's a global parameter, so the whole server is hit instead of per-share or per box. Fortunately it appears to be picked up without an smb restart, so a very short run interval is feasible.

Here are more findings, The problem is repeatable upon a fresh restart on the CentOS 4 machine with samba 3.0.23c for new files as follows: 1. Craig creates a new excel file and saves it as Test.xls 2. Andrea opens the file, make modifications to it and hits save. Now she gets an error message: The Document was saved succesfully, but Excel cannot re-open it because of a sharing violation. Please close the document and try to open it again. 3. Now someone has to right click on the document, remove the read-only attribute and then both Craig or Andrea will be able to save any changes to the file without issue. 4. Another user, Lorne, opens the file, makes changes, then saves and the problem comes back. However after saving and clearing the read-only box now the 3 current users either owning the file or listed in the ACLS will be able to modify the file without further problems until a new user that does not own the file, nor is listed in the extended ACLs opens the file (even while he is part of the "P3 Admin" group tha already has rw permissions). The folder permissions are shown below and all the users are part of the group that owns the folder: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Admin]# ls -ld . drwxrws---+ 20 administrator P3 Admin 8192 Oct 31 10:52 .
