nfswatch outputs all zeroes

We have an NFS overload situation of our Tru64 v5.1B server, and we
need to run the "nfswatch" utility to identify the misbehaving NFS
clients.

Unfortunately, "nfswatch --allif" shows almost exclusively zero
NFS traffic, although the server in reality is being killed by
NFS traffic (the disk subsystem does 800 SCSI transfers/sec).

Question: Does anyone which special tricks are required in order
to make "nfswatch" behave correctly (the way it does on other
UNIXes) ? I do have "options PACKETFILTER" defined in the kernel
config file.

Thanks a lot,
