Make sure your time on both NFS server and NFS client are the same-
Down to the second. I use the following flags when I mount NFS volumes
for share with Netatalk. You gotta turn off NFS locking because Apple is
lame and is CONSTANTLY writing and reading resource forks while a file
is open (even in the midst of a copy)
nolock,nosuid,noexec,wsize=8192,bg,nodev,rsize=8192,intr
