You're very welcome.
Before you start explaining the problem let me make something else clear.

I answer questions on the TAG mailinglist when I know the answer.
The questions and answers are publicized to allow others to benefit from 
the process and aside from that it's fun ;-)

I do NOT offer personal linux consulting through email. And if I had the 
time to do that I'd doubt you'd be willing to pay my consultancy rates :-)

That is why I have reforwarded you mail sent to my personal address to 
the mailing list.

I suggest you check if the server has nfs-over-tcp support compiled in 
the kernel.

I'm no expert on your system but you could check this by checking 
/proc/config.gz
gzcat /proc/config.gz | grep NFS
