Setting locking = No in the globals of smb.conf fixed it.
Keep in mind that: "Be careful about disabling locking either globally or in a specific service, as lack of locking may result in data corruption. You should never need to set this parameter."
Indeed, however smb locking still properly reports "this file is in use by...." etc. on the smb side. If fact it seems to have had little effect except for now properly reporting who is using the file instead of always reporting the file is in use and locked by the owner.
Like I said, we still need to investigate more fully however the we see the issue on all NFS file systems when using the rpms from both the 3.0.33 CentOS and samba-3x series from RedHat 5.5. Like the OP, local file systems do not exhibit this issue.
