gvim on XP truncates/destroys network files, removes permissions

Hello,
I have googled to find a solution for this problem which only recently started to occur after my desktop was relocated within the company. I work at a mostly WINDOWS shop and 'gvim" is definitely a non-supported product so I have to have details of the problem before I can ask Help Desk for support, should that be necessary. Hope someone has seen this. My desktop is XP and I am using
VIM - Vi IMproved 7.3 (2010 Aug 15, compiled Oct 27 2010 17:59:02)
(full givm --version output available if needed)


If I open a file with gvim (right click, open with vim) my first attempt to write the file truncates it to zero bytes, for example:
-rwx------+ 1 jpietras Domain Users 505 May 31 08:27 SomeProgram.ini

Exit and writ
-r-x------+ 1 jpietras Domain Users 0 May 31 08:27 SomeProgram.ini

But only on network shared drives, my C: drive works as expected.

Thanks for your help!
Joseph Pietras
