Confirmed using a QNAP NAS for data storage.

- Initial message from Ubuntu is the that file is locked by "Unknown User".

- If I open a copy of the document and attempt to save it, I receive the message "Error saving the document ... Error during shared access"

As the original author notes, there are no issues when accessing a file on the local disk.

Also as noted, a workaround is opening nfs files directly with the command
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/oosplash.bin -writer "<path to file on nfs share>"
Files opened this way can also be saved under a new name.
