NFS4ERR_NOTSUPP is wrong too as the OPEN operation is clearly
supported. The only error that might make sense is NFS4ERR_INVAL:
"15.1.1.4. NFS4ERR_INVAL (Error Code 22)
The arguments for this operation are not valid for some reason, even
though they do match those specified in the XDR definition for the
request."
That said, why do we care about supporting NFSv4.1 on this server? It
is clearly broken.
