Hi,
I have the same issues. Let me tell you all some details.
I am a sysadmin. Our file server is a CentOS 5 (RedHat-like) Linux with
Samba on ext3 FS. The relevant smb.conf settings:
create mask = 0775
directory mask = 0775
force create mode = 0775
force directory mode = 0775
Most of the Mac users here still use Office X or 2004 and OS X 10.4 or 10.5.
Now we have a new Macbook w/ 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and Office 2008. I don't
know about Word or PPT, but when trying to save an Excel file on a Samba
share on the server, we get that error message that Excel cannot access the
file "sharename:path:otherpath:041A0200" or some other 8-letter random string.
Seems Excel creates a temp file, tries to write to that file and presumably
renames it afterwards. The file actually is created but has 0 byte.
Interestingly, when I try to save as 97-2004 file (.xls) it works
flawlessly. Just the default setting (.xlsx) keeps failing with the mentioned
error.
Also, as others said before, I can save new/existing/other files, rename
them, edit them, delete them etc. without any problem from within any other
application on that macbook. it's just the Office apps that show these issue.
Perhaps this helps the MS engineers track down the issue (different methods
used when saving another format?)
