Thanks. Although not really a "solution", I'm thinking of copying the
entire content of the share to my machine (disk space is cheap) and
creating, saving, changing, deleting files on my local copy. I would
then have a cron job to rsync to the share once an hour. So
effectively, the share would actually be a backup and rather than
actually working on the share.

To be clear, the reason for the share is to allow family members to
save on the network share which is regularly backed-up since I know my
wife and kids never back-up their computers.
