Ok, so you don't need the "-s" option for the gssd.

You can run "gssd -d -d" and it will run in foreground and print
out messages related to resource allocation. This isn't much use,
except to tell you that it is doing something. (Adding a "verbose"
option is on my "to do" list, but I don't have any code at this time.
If someone wants to do this, I think it would be great.)

If you do this, don't have it started at boot (gssd_enable="NO" in
/etc/rc.conf) and then do the above command as root in a window
before attempting the mount command.

Beyond that, you could add printfs to gssd.c. The main client side
function is gssd_init_sec_context(), which should get the Kerberos
ticket for a user via their TGT.

I've added Elias to the cc list, since he just went through this
and might be able to help.
