Lock file created when we created a new file in the folder, no lock file was created when we opened the file that was Read Only.
Are you absolutely sure that no one else on a different machine has existing file already open for writing? Only one user can open a file writing at the same time if all users are using a file locking application like NeoOffice, OpenOffice.org, or Microsoft Office.
A good way to test this is to try opening the existing that opens in read-only mode in NeoOffice 2.2.5. Does NeoOffice 2.2.5 also open it in read-only mode?
Another tip, test.odt was the file I had the user create to test for locking, she has since left for the day, but I tried to open it as another user and it came up read only.

Never mind. Using the test steps posted in your OpenOffice.org bug, I can reproduce this. Strangely, the OpenOffice.org code is not even trying to open the file in writeable mode.
I will have to look at this further but I suspect that OpenOffice.org is incorrectly checking the permissions on the file and from that, their code mistakenly concludes that the file is not writable.
I see you took my advice and have added yourself to the bug. When there are changes in the bug you will be sent email. If there are any questions or steps to try I think they will be asked there first.
