It's not going well. It looks like it's actually trying to get the files (I get a lot of modem activity) but then it turns around and gives me a stale NFS file handle. Looking at the log files it looks like it's timing out on the open and punting, then when I try to access the same file again it sees part of the information there and blows out. Has anyone got this working under FreeBSD? It's got some ifdefs for NetBSD.
