    I have run into this problem myself. I have found that the only way to avoid the lock being placed on a file like this is to add the nobrl option to your mount. The entry in your /etc/fstab might look something like this:

    //<SERVERNAME>/<REMOTEPATH> /<LOCALMOUNTPOINT>/<LOCALPATH> cifs credentials=/home/<LOCALUSERNAME>/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,uid=1000,gid=1000,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775,nobrl 0 0

    This is loosely following the ubuntu wiki page found at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
