It's not a lock problem (see further details below) and the other machine is also Linux.
Just to be a bit clearer, if I open Kwrite on the other (Linux) machine, write some text and "save as" to the shared partition, the file is created. If I now make a change to the file and try to save, I get an error message saying I don't have permission (sorry, I don't remember the exact message and am not at the other machine right now).
