I have a SUSE server sharing out 3 directories
I then have a opensuse client that get those directories
The SUSE server has openLDAP and the clients authenticate from that
It also has the automap information.

I have 3 test users ( apparently identical ) When I go to these
directories one user the 'create new' in dolphin is greyed out for
all directories even tho' I can drop files into that directory and
use applications like LO and save new files into those directories
One user the 'create new' in OK in one directory and greyed out
in the other two. And one user the 'create new' is OK in a different
directory and not in the others.

If I launch Gnome and use nautilus ( or Nautilus in KDE ) it works
as expected.

This is driving me nuts. What determines if the 'create new' is
greyed out and ANY suggestions ( short of using Gnome ) to fix this
would be appreciated

Don't know if this will help but see my post strange behaviour working off a local network server.

You may find the kde apps such a kwrite work perfectly. The rest is down to the content of the dot desktop file for the application. Big problem though that aspect which allows apps to access smb/http etc etc isn't working.

I might try nautilus and see what happens. I've bugged this on novel number 695648. Votes might help obtain a fix. No way will I switch to gnome so I'm a bit stuck at the moment.

Have you mounted the NFS share into the system, or did you simply used the nfs:// method of accessing files?
