Have you considered upgrading your Solaris version? I had tons 
of problems with NFS on Solaris10u6 and 10u8, including unresponsive
mount points, problems with delegations (esp. in the users' .ssh
directories and .Xauthority files) and strange "permission 
denied" error messages for some ACL feature I never configured on 
the server. 

NFS in Solaris 10u10 works much better together with Linux. I
haven't tried Solaris 11.

My servers run Squeeze and the Linux kernel from the squeeze-
backports repository (3.2.0-0.bpo.4-amd64).
