There are some issues around the use of network home folders & Office 2004
that MS are aware of. It could be that you are hitting these problems.

Also, is it possible that the corruption occurs after the server shuts down
while users are still connected? It may be that the database daemon has
unwritten file buffers open that do not get saved to disk and so cause
corruption.
