.gpk file goes to "read-only" when accessed remotely

My company uses GEOPAK V8i and has multiple office locations connected by local servers that cache project files and then connect to the main servers at our headquarters. Whenever a remote office collaborates with another office, typically headquarters, the .gpk file becomes read-only for everyone except the first person to activate the .gpk, until everyone closes out of their files. Then a new "first person" can gain write privileges to the .gpk but all others are still read-only. I thought the purpose of the .gpk was so that multiple users could all work on the same project at the same time. We do not have this problem when multiple users AT THE SAME LOCATION access the .gpk - it's only when two office locations access the .gpk. We recently switched from Microstation SS2 to SS3 and have had this problem on both. Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?
