Chris, In fact I don't think this is an issue with gvfs or pureftpd.
pureftpd may affect other bugs, but it is not the case here. I have
tested it on vsftpd locally. OpenOffice still fails with the same error.

-Files can be written to folder via nautilus. 
-Files can be saved through the gedit save dialogue. 
-File cannot be saved from the OOo save dialogue.

I found, with more tests, that OOo does create a lock file,

cat /home/ftp/dropbox/.~lock.testsave.odt#
,ubuntu,default,28.03.2009 20:19,file:///home/ubuntu/.openoffice.org/3;

Chris can we schedule some software testing for "saving/editing OOo docs
on remote filesystems". It would be worth testing this use case with
smb, ftp, sftp and nfs as well. Please keep in mind that I am currently
running these tests on both intrepid and jaunty. Please ping me if you
are interested.


> If that case it is probably not a bug caused by gvfs.

You're correct seb. I don't think this problem is with gvfs since it
only seems to affect OOo for now. If anything, it is the way OOo treats
the remote file system.
