IPhoto library on SAMBA wont sync through iTunes

Question

Hi
I have two macs at home, and I have want to keep a single iTunes and iPhoto library, therefore I utilize a SAMBA share on my Debian server. iTunes and iPhoto both works great on SAMBA however when I sync my iPhone or iPod, iPhoto albums wont show up in iTunes for selection. When I move the very same library to the local disk, it all starts to work. iPhoto otherwise sees all pictures and albums, but it wont show up in itunes.
I tried to change permissions, but to no avail.
Any suggestions are welcome,
Thanks
Ben

Answer 1

It seems that the file AlbumData.xml is still open, when iPhoto is trying to delete it.
from samba.log
\[2008/01/29 00:08:56, 3\] smbd/reply.c:reply_unlink(2124)
reply_unlink : pics/Bilderband Library/AlbumData.xml

unix_convert called on file "pics/Bilderband Library/AlbumData.xml"

I've tried opening my iPhoto Library with Samba,Netatalk and NFS on my FreeBSD-Server. The only thing which works without a glitch is NFS. The only drawback is, you can't use it on FAT-Filesystems
