problems with SQL*Reportwriter and NFS mounted volumes??

Hi,

We are having problems running the SQL*Reportwriter family of commands on a machine when the directory we are trying to save the output file into is on an NFS mounted volume.

Several different errors are given depending on what we are trying to do! These are:

runrep:
  an attempt was made to lock a file that was already locked.

sqlrep:
  SRW-01721: unable to create run file.

loadrep:
  SRW-1814: Loadfile <report> is currently locked by another user.

dumprep:
  SRW-1814: Loadfile expdat.rex is currently locked by another user.

Other ORACLE products work fine on NFS mounted volumes, such as SQL*Plus, SQL*Forms and SQL*Report.

If anyone has experienced these problems, I would be interested in sharing your experiences.. We are running ORACLE RDBMS v 6.0.33 and SQL*Reportwriter v 1.1.12.0.2 running on a MIPS RC3330. The NFS mounted volume runs on a MIPS as well.

tnx for any help.

cul Wayne.
