If I remember the start of this thread, the problem was that you
had /opt/gnu on your local file system being automounted everywhere
as /opt/gnu. Why not make the local directory something like
/opt/export/gnu and automount it everywhere (including your local
machine) as /opt/gnu? You never want to automount anything with
the same pathname that it's really mounted as on your local
machine.
