Have tried all combinations of that. Have moved the mount point, stopped and started the NFS server etc. Seems the problem is in the server rather than the client as no matter where I mount it I get the same result. This is a RH9 server Webmin shows the OS as Linux 2.4.7-10 Have noticed that the problem directory is a sub directory of the share ie sharing /var/auc and the directory that is stuck in the past is /var/auc/course, if I try to share /var/auc/course directly with exactly the same permissions as the /var/auc I find that I do not have permission to mount that share. The directory permissions and ownership are all the same (there are two other directories in /var/auc that do behave properly - they reflect the contents of the original.
