That won't work, because the user doesn't have write perms in that
directory.

This is an administrative share, where most users have read-only perms,
but a few users have the ability to edit certain documents in certain
subdirectories.

Like I said, this used to work until recently. I think it broke in
either 3.0 or 3.1... I can go install some old versions and figure out
which one broke it, but I was hoping someone would know off the top of
their head.

I think it is related to the NEW behavior of OOo creating the 'locking'
file like MSO has always done. It didn't used to do that.
