I'm wondering if the recent changes to the way that FB opens the
database files, shared read vs. the old shared read/write (to fix the
problem with ambiguous connection strings), has also fixed the problem
with network files?

It would seem to be a logical outcome that a file residing on a network
device would , now, only be write accessible from a single computer.
