Closer inspection of the trace reveals it was the collection.db file that was 
having lock issues. A bit of googling reveals that sqllite db's have locking 
issues on NFS.

I reconfigured amarok to use mysql as the storage mechanism for the 
collection. Other options I guess would be to link ~/.kde/apps/share/amarok 
to some location on a locally mounted location or non NFS mount.
