Patrick,

Although NFS mounting has worked in some cases, we do have a couple of open
bugs for NFS mounting (OS-4440 and OS-4331). These might actually be
duplicates. Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to spend any time on these
yet so I don't have any solution for you, but I will add your info to one
of the bugs. Thanks for doing the research on this, hopefully once I get
time to look at this it will be clear what needs to be fixed.

Sorry I don't have any better news for you,
Jerry
