You have a "ps" command that creates output that looks like that?

Which returned what?

Surely it yielded a bit more than that?

At this point, I am (and, as far as I can tell, everyone else but you are)
"flying blind" -- I don't know what your maps or the /etc/exports file
look like.

>cd /net
>cd [MachineName]
>cd home
>cd svr
>svr: Permission denied.

Well, that sequence indicates that in addition to a "home" map, you may
be trying to use a "/net" map, as well.  Would you please share some of
the actual configuration information?

"Successfully" is a somewhat subjective term.  I can't tell *where*
things were mounted from your description.

>As an aside, if I mount manually every works fine.

>Does any one have any suggestions ?

As before & above: please share the actual information, both what you've
specified & the results of the commands, rather than merely descriptions
of them.  Feel free to hide information such as user's passwords,
certainly, and possibly logins & hostnames... but the more information
is hidden, the harder you make it on folks who are trying to help you.
