As of doc/README.txt of 0.98.7 and 0.99.12:

  6.  Using Lredir

  6.1. ..

  You may even redirect to a NFS mounted volume on a remote machine with
  a /etc/fstab entry like this

          otherhost:      /dos     nfs     nolock

  Note that the nolock option is needed for 2.2.x kernels, because
                ^^^^^^           ^^^^^^     ^^^^^ ^^^^^^^
  apparently the locks do not propagate fast enough and DOSEMU's (MFS
  code) share emulation will fail (seeing a lock on its own files).

Yup, and you for sure have a 2.2.x kernel, right? ;-)

You don't have that problem with 2.0.x because it ignores locks silently.
I got a patch for mfs.c to ignore locks on 2.2.x too, maybe I'll aply it
in the next releases. However, he caveat of this would be that the fact
fact that files on a 2.2.x mounted volume aren't locked is hidden.
This makes a difference now NFS _is_ locking (on 2.0.x every body knew
that it wasn't).
