This happens in Excel and Word, neither has crashed, this has been working before, and I am the only user using this, so I don't believe any other users can lock these files because there are no other users on the system. You can duplicate the problem by simply opening a new Word file and try to save it to a samba share.
The smbstatus is below. Note that the pdf that is being saved "P112.Week10Guide W09.pdf" does save correctly, but the MS products will not. I have to save them to the desktop and drag them to the samba folder with windows explorer. In this case they do save correctly.
