When I have seen this problem it is with files that have links within them. You must either drag and drop them instead of using a VMS copy, or rename them from the VMS side. If the filename is "myfile.xls.xls" rename it to "myfile.xls". The links seem to still work OK after renaming but it won't be locked.

The primary purpose was to be able to backup the vms machine via out normal NT sever using arcserveit software. Everything works fine except for about .1% of the files where I am getting an access denied error. The files that are not copied are not in use and have the same protections and owner UIC as files that do work. The user account on the vms system used by the backup software and samba has been given default BYPASS and SYSPRV privileges anyway. Anyone got any ideas?
