"Conflict Detected" and/or "Changed on Disk" immediately after saving

Question

My setup:
I've got a workstation and a laptop (Win 7 x64) that I use Lightroom 4.1 on both.  When files are imported, they are saved to a Windows 2008 (x64) server that I have so that I can work from either machine.  Everything is connected via gigabit ethernet.
The problem:
Both installations of LR4.1 are set to save metadata immediately, however, this never seems to happen.  A conflict or change always seems to be detected and I have no clue why.  This means that my catalog ends up being the only place the changes are kept unless I manually save the metadata and overwrite the changes (which may write the changes, but the files seem to pop back up immediately as conflicted).  This is NOT a problem because I'm using two machines, the problem exists whether I'm using just my workstation with the laptop powered off.
Things I've tried that haven't helped:
The server is on a UPS so I have disabled write-cache dumping to ensure as fast as possible access.
Disabled AV from read/writing to these files and white listed Lightroom all together.
Disabled NTFS Last Access updating.
I switched from using .nef and .xmp sidecar files to using a straight DNG workflow.
I've monitored file access via "Process Monitor" and can confirm nothing but Lightroom and system processes are touching the files on the client and server.
I've tried enabling and disabling local network file caching (very useful if I can get it working on the laptop, because I can import into LR4.1 while I'm away from the server and it will automatically sync when my laptop is back on the same LAN as my server).
Any ideas?

Ive just been looking for the same. Theres an article (and a class) on javaworld on subject of saving bitmap-files, and in another thread in this forum, a guy described how to make jpg. with the jdk1.4 .... Like this:
int w = comp.getWidth();
int h = comp.getHeight();
BufferedImage im = new BufferedImage(w, h, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Graphics2D g2 = im.createGraphics();
comp.paint(g2);
g2.dispose();
ImageIO.write(im, "jpeg", new File("foo.jpeg"));
im.flush();
Im just referring, havent tried it yet. Good luck.
