I should clarify that /Tex is an entry in /etc/fstab.
Giving the mount command in any form for a filesystem on server fails
with this error. I initially gave the command:
umount -t nfs -a
which unmounted all the unbusy filesystems (the ones that stayed mounted
are still there). Then mount -t nfs -a gave this error.
I am running v4.0f pk#7 by the way.
