This still looks very much like a server issue to me. Could someone who is seeing the bug try to capture an instance of the ESTALE error going across the wire, and then do a fresh lookup of the same file from an "ls" call. I'd like to check how the stale filehandle differs from the freshly looked up one... Please use "tcpdump -s 9000 -w /tmp/binary.pcap port 2049 and host my.servers.name" for the actual capture.
