I don't know of any.  Network filesystems are very hard to implement
(so many corner cases), and there is a lot of complexity if you also
want them to be performant.

Vendor snake oil.  Even a poorly implemented one will appear to work.
 As far as I can tell, Access does not have checksums or similar data
integrity measures in its file format.  Consequently, how would you
even know?  Here is a random page (possibly selling a "solution")
describing how Access gets corrupted, especially on a network.  Note
how they say same stuff we say about using SQLite over a network:

ion-Repair-Guide

I don't see any mention on the VistaDB pages that they support
networked filesystems.  Heck they claim to run on anything (eg also
Mono), which by definition means they can't have tested every
possibility.  Unless a vendor can provide a guarantee of some kind, or
at the very least some certified configuration, I wouldn't trust it
either.
