Had the same problem on Edgy eft RC, found out by some googling that the error was caused by OpenOffice not being able to lock the file (OpenOffice could have said so!).

Open Office needs statd on the client machine to lock files. I solved the problem by installing nfs-common. Shouldn't that be installed by default? The documentation says "Use this package on any machine that uses NFS, either as client or server. Programs included: lockd, statd, showmount, nfsstat, gssd and idmapd."
