Next attempt at understanding what is going on. According to the documentation, "the clurmtabd daemon synchronizes NFS mount entries in /var/lib/nfs/rmtab with a private copy on a service's mount point." Assuming the private copy is the one in .clumanager/rmtab, shouldn't that file contain data? (They are empty for all three filesystems.)
