Just to clarify, the "they" refers to the NFS-mounted directory. We try not to create home directories with 755 perms. /server/cream/export71/users/mb and /home/cream/home71/mb traverse correctly, saying "Permission denied". The former is the NFS mount, and the latter a bind mount. They both work irrespective of whether the other is mounted or not. /homes/mb says "No such file or directory". The log suggests it's trying to do an NFS mount, when it should be another bind mount. /homes/dave (cream:/export74/users/dave having 755 perms) works perfectly, with two bind mounts and one NFS mount. Me and my layers of indirection... I suppose I could solve it by making /homes/mb bind straight to :/server/cream/export71/users/mb, but that wouldn't stop the bug from being there.
