Check Permissions First

(1) What is the UID of the samba daemon processes?

(2) What is the UID and GID of the directory where the LOCK file is located?

(3) What are the permissions of (2)?

All of these must be coordinated for samba (or any process) to read/write a LOCK file (or any file for that matter).
