So have you all tried any of the newer server kernels?

There were some important fixes for the server ESTALE problems that went
into 2.6.10 IIRC 

http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/cset@415b3380pxf4sB97gM8ujLqDxi6GfQ

and

http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/cset@41997cc5nwxi8SY_jN4yhIPUSu_yVA?nav=index.html|src/|src/fs|related/fs/dcache.c

Do the kernels you've tested have these two patches?
