We had a similar issue with Isilon NFS mounts - but only had an issue
with non-LFS apps (32 bit) running on 64 bit clients - hence my
previous question ...

The 'fix' we use on the Isilon servers is to enable 32 bit 'fileids'
on the server nodes - the fix is to add the line:

vfs.nfsrv.do_32bit_fileid=1

to /etc/mcp/override/sysctl.conf (or create the file if it doesn't
exist) on any node (it gets copied to all nodes and updated
automagically) - however, _do not_ do this if you have any mounted
clients as are likely to get stale mounts ...

However, we get this issue with earlier 2.6 clients - so I'm not sure
it is exactly the same problem ...
