Hi Steve,
Glad to hear we're making progress again. From the error log it appears
that on your first attempt the tmp file was still busy when smbfs tried
to reopen it. (Code -26 is ETXTBUSY). Perhaps it would be worthwhile to
try a small delay again?

The "ERRDOS code 50" errors are what others have reported occur when
creating a file, except that in some cases it seems to prevent correct
operation. Is this repeatable for you? I really want to track this down,
but I need to find what procedure is generating the messages.
