possible bug when saving to d-link dns-323 nas

Hi Gnucash-users,
I recently switched my pc from Windows 7 x64 to Fedora 16 x64. 

I have a D-Link DNS-323 NAS with current firmware.
I am using the version of Gnucash that I got frim yum install gnucash last night.

I used to store my gnucash files on the DNS-323 when running Windows with no issues.
Now, in fedora 16, I have a problem. I am mounting the DNS-323 as a cifs filesystem under /home/mtoal/Array. I am confident the permissions are correct as I am forcing uid and gid to be the same as user mtoal, and I am able to read and write files using other methods. Gnucash however seems to be able to create log files, but not lock or dated-backup files on the NAS and gives warnings that these files cannot be created.

I am able to save the gnucash files as expected on my local filesystem, as well as on my web server which is also a mounted cifs filesystem (not that I wanted to keep my finances on my web server... however the webserver filesystem is on a Fedora 15 box running Samba and used it to test this)

Can anyone comment on my troubles? thanks!!!
