I haven't seen this particular problem, but I _have_ seen some general
problems with NFS mounts during NIM installs.

One thing worth trying is to clear out all of the exports on your NIM master
and start over.

I'd also suggest you try running diags on the client, just in case. (Just
how many times have you had this server up and down recently?)
