        And as it turned out, that was not the case.  I started copying a 
200MiB file from my desktop machine onto the Samba share.  While that was 
copying, I got onto the server and tried to copy the file to /tmp and it 
happily did that for me without any indication that it was still being written 
to (which is was by the way.)  So, that's not a good way of dealing with this.

        I think I'm going to have to go with a time delay function here ...
