Every indication seems to be that it is the firewall in the virus 
scanner we use, F-Secure, that prevents Windows from releasing oplocks 
properly. After turning off the firewall, the oplocks get released and 
there is no problem. Possibly related to the timing of wpkg being 
invoked before system logons too.

Might be time to consider another virus scanner/firewall solution.
