That is quite strange...
Which kernel version are you using?
Is there something "special" on machine (cpu, 64bits ...)

True

That should not be the case... and even if there was a problem at this poin=
t,
the error must be "permission denied", not "I/O error", which reflect an
internal NFS problem.

I suppose you are running nfsv3, can you try with the v4 one? (last versions
are much more reliables than v3 ones... )

Also, you should have interresting messages in the /var/log/message on NFS
client and/or server
