Public bug reported:

Issue: 
LibreOffice 4.1 on Linux can not open any OpenDocument files (.odt, .ods, etc) 
from Samba shares.  It can however open Microsoft Office Created files (.doc, 
.docx, .xls, etc).

What happens:
1. Create a test.odt on your local machine, save it. Confirm it can be opened 
post save
2. Copy .odt to samba share
3. try and open test.odt (or any pre-exisiting file) you will be prompted with 
dialog box saying file is corrupt and do you want to repair (image1)
4. if you say 'yes' to repair it opens it in LibreOffice Math.  
5. if you say 'no' you get a dialog box that says file could not be repaired, 
press ok. (image2)
6. It then repeats this process of steps 3&5 two more times before giving you 
'General input / output error' (image3)

What should happen:
1. Create a test.odt on your local machine, save it. Confirm it can be opened 
post save
2. Copy .odt to samba share
3. Open file from share.
