Thanks Joel, Netwatcher is one of the M$ Windows (95/98 and maybe 2K) system tools. Shows who is connected to your shares, what files they have open etc. and allows you to disconnect them :-) Seems that if the "client" crashes, and then tries to reconnect after reboot, finds that the files are "in use" by their previous connection so disconnecting them via Netwatcher is the way to reset the file lock.
I _think_ the same action could be performed for Linux/Samba using the Kill option in SWAT - if the problem ever arrises. I'll crawl back under my desk now Many thanks again.
