Using FoxPro 2.5 from Samba Shares

I have a Samba share that is used by 3 users running a FoxPro 2.5
application. They all use the same databases. I seem to occasionally run
into a file read error reported.

the share (venlink) uses a NFS mounted drive (I have not turned on NIS which
is why am forcing UIDs and GIDs).

I am running Samba 2.0.0
Here is the relevent part of smb.conf

[venlink]
        comment = Venlink
        path = /mnt/venlink
        valid users = chrisb,venlink1,venlink2,venlink3
        admin users = chrisb,venlink1,venlink2,venlink3
        public = no
        browsable = no
        force user = 472
        writeable = yes
        read only = no
        force create mode = 0666
        force group = 132
        preserve case = no
        short preserve case = no
        default case = lower
        fake oplocks = yes

TIA
