Ok, I was either on drugs or too upset about this war my country is 
currently engaged in...

Before when I tested the Samba share, I didn't have the permissions set 
correctly... duh!  Now, with correct permissions, files hosted on Samba and 
accessed by Windows do respect locks put in place by Wine, and vice-versa.

So, it appears that the only place this isn't working is when we mount a 
Samba share on Linux using smbfs.  Which is what Alexandre was trying to 
get through my thick skull the whole time.

Alexandre, as far as I'm concerned this is working just fine as it appears 
this is a failing of smbfs and not at all a failing of Wine.

Thanks for the time.
