Under Samba locking is enabled, but strict locking is not.
I'm not aware of there being any locking options on netatalk, I've
certainly not set anything.

Locking does seem to be very program dependant. Microsoft apps are normally
very good at requesting locks and such, in my experience. I could try
turning on strict locking for samba and seeing what the difference is.
