This error has cropped up before in several occassions too. Not in
some nfs setup but normal usage. I suspect some kind of bug here which
is causing even more problem in the client.

Ok. Things are not working out as expected. Client should be able to
pick it up. Otherwise its of no use.

I think the nfs-idea needs more testing ande debugging. I will try to
find a machine with inotify from where I can export a few directories
over NFS. Might be hard to find. I will keep you updated in the
unlikely event that I get access to such machines.
Thanks for the feedback,
