No, we are talking about different things. This OS2.NAM just adds the 
namespace in the server volumes so it can save the filenames with more than 8 
characters, just as you do with W95 or OS/2. You have to load the .NAM and 
add the namespace with a console command like this one:
ADD NAME SPACE OS2 TO  and you must do this only once for each 
volume.
