File Errors When accessing data files on SBS 2003

User has multiple Word 2003 docs on a data prtition on the server. When they access certain files, it throws an error and closes Word. If the file is either moved up one level or a new folder is created with a different name and the file is moved there, then the file will open with no issue. Security on the entire data partition has been verified. The Everyone group has Full Control and there are no assignments of "No Access" to interfere. It should also be noted that the data in question will not copy out using Windows Explorer or xcopy and that the data partition was cloned (using a Ghost Boot floppy) to a new disk to rule out hardware issues.. On the new disk, the files in question now longerr throw errors with Word, but they will not open.

I have verified that AV is not the cause of this issue. Status remains the same after testing.
Did you disable the AV on the PC accessing the file too?  I had a similar problem with Symantec Endpoint Protection, and it wasnt the actual AV scanner but it was the Threat Protection on the client PC accessing the files.
