[tech] Weird napoli locking(?) issue

Hi all,

I'm having issues with re-saving files on napoli - an initial save
will succeed, but any subsequent attempts to modify the file fail.

Steps to reproduce:
 - Open a file, say report.tex with TeXShop (the problem also occurs
with OpenOffice)
 - make a change to the file and save it. The save should succeed.
 - make another change to the file and attempt to save it. The save
will fail with a totally uninformative information message.

Other information:
 - ls -la@ report.tex:

-rw-r--r--@ 1 dja  wheel  4340 14 Oct 11:18 report.tex
	com.apple.FinderInfo	  32

I don't really know how to pull out the contents of FinderInfo.

I suspect it's something to do with the network, but IANA mac expert.
