Hmm even crappier then... the samba server is CentOS 5... or are you 
saying that with 2.6.29 on F10, if I mount with nodfs it should work?

If that is the case, then 2.6.29 doesn't fix it. I added nodfs to my 
mount point on a F10 machine with the updates-testing 2.6.29 kernel. OO 
behaves even more oddly, opening it I can't see the document at all. It 
says read-only as well.

If I were to grab a newer samba and mock build it for EPEL 5... and that 
build succeeded, should that fix the issue then? (CentOS being at 
3.0.33, and F10 at 3.2.11) ?
