Subject: "Locked File" problems and solution?

Like most of the group knows, a few of us have been talking
about the errors (well, that's too harsh, anomalies) with locked
files and permissions.
My company's new server is a Dell running Red Hat Linux
version 7.0 (with liberally applied patches). When I installed the
RPM for Netatalk 1.5pre5, I kept getting an error whenever I dropped
a file onto a netatalk directory. The error would say that I didn't
have the proper permissions. But then the file would be created on
the server with a size of 0 bytes. Another error was "Cannot create
because this file is locked" and the same thing would happen.
So I removed 1.5pre5 and installed 1.5pre4
Same problem.
Then I removed 1.5pre4 and installed 1.5pre3
Same problem.
So I installed the RPM for 1.4.99-0.20001108. Everything
looks like it's working so far. So this might solve the problem, or
at least fix it temporarily until we can figure out what is wrong
with 1.5pre5 .
What happened between 1.4.99-0.20001108 and 1.5pre3 that did
this? Is it only happening on machines running Red Hat Linux 7.0?
