It's possibly a problem with CAP and AUFS, or between the Mac and Unix machines
in general, but my guess is that it is a problem with the way Excel copes
with remote files.  I seem to recall problems between Excel 2.2. and TOPS.
If memory serves, Microsoft has out Excel 2.2a (at least), which was 
supposed to solve this.  You may want to check with Microsoft after all.
