Comment 4 for bug 486443

A little more info - in the cases described above, I was connecting to the
NAS using the "Network / Samba Shares" option in the Open Office file
manager.

I also have the files system mounted using the following entry in fstab

/MAXTOR/GREENOCK /media/network/greenock cifs
credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777
0 0

If I access the files via the mount point, I can update an existing file,
but "SaveAs" gives a General Input/Ouput error, and creates an empty file
with the correct name
