I don't think so.

I can see that GNU Emacs creates, in the directory the file is, a sym- 
link

	.#<file name> -> <user>@localhost.<PID of GNU Emacs editing the file>

If GNU Emacs crashes or gets killed the unsaved buffer is saved as

	#<file name>#


You seem to have the problem that the attributes (time stamp of last  
modification) of the files (and sym-links) on the CIFS share are  
updated more often then their contents. I seem to remember having had  
the same problem (on Fedora Core), plus encoding (of file names *and*  
their contents), but don't remember my solution. Working on a sym- 
link to the original file might be an option ...
