Openoffice willnot save to nfs share - Slackware 13.1

Hello,

I have an nfs share that mounts automatically when kde starts.

Code:

wendy@DellNB:~$ cat .kde/Autostart/mountNAS.sh
#!/bin/bash

mount ~/TestShare

#echo "NAS Mounted"
wendy@DellNB:~$ 
wendy@DellNB:~$ cat /etc/fstab | grep 192
192.168.0.10:TestShare2 /home/wendy/TestShare   nfs     noauto,user,owner       0       0
wendy@DellNB:~$

Gimp works fine editing and saving photos from/to the nfs share.
kWrite can do its thing and read/create files on the NAS.
Files I create with vim are visible and editable under windows.

OpenOffice however, when I try an open a file I get "file is locked by unknown user." I open as copy and try saving to the share with a different name... No Dice, error saving to share the file is created on the share but it is empty. I did some reading and found a post that said to comment a line from a file called soffice, which I cannot find.

I used slackpkg to install the slackbuild of OO.

I'm not sure what to try next.

Look for the soffice file here:

/opt/openoffice.org3/program

I have it, installed Robby's package for 13.1 x64.

Bingo!

I had to go with the brute force line comment.

I'm using a NAS and I don't think it supports nfs4.
