The latest update that came out a couple of days ago, seems to have fixed this, nfs-utils-1.1.4-7.fc10 . Only, if nfs was already messed up on a server, only a reboot seems to help, as far as I have been able to figure out. So first upgrade to the latest nfs-utils, see if a 'service nfs restart' is succesful, and if not, try rebooting. It got things going for me on a lot of systems (like a 32 node cluster used for computations, where each of the nodes needs to see the disks of the other nodes, so lots of cross-mounts, and lots of heavy data access. so if there stil was a bug, I guess I would have noticed it there).
