HI,
Using Suse with kernel version 2.6.16.
strangely enough, if i mount the nfs share in a different path, then it
works fine. I tried restarting all related services on both client and the
server, system reboot as well, changed files as well.. nuthing fixes in this
particular directory

definately seems like  some *voodoo* factor associated with a previous
mount/umount session to the same path  on the client :| how to get rid of
that :( since directory is being used in all the code everywhere, i'd rather
fix access through it then create another mount.

thanks
regards
Kami
