Are you setting "bind interfaces = yes"?
If so, did you list "127.0.0.1" in your "interfaces = blah blah" line???
If not, add it.

FYI...

Opportunistic Locks are a performance mechanism that allows multiple
clients to access the same file, but do read/write caching.  If you're
only reading, it's usually fine.  But if you are writing, it can be
disasterous.  The nice thing about Samba is that it will let you disable
oplocks on a per-share basis (although you'll take a major performance
hit when writing to that share -- but worth it when you need to maintain
data integrity).  Microsoft only lets you disabled them with a really
bad registry hack (that is only semi-effective), and then its global.

Linux needs to loopback (127.0.0.1) access for them to work (among other
things).
