It may be because 4.1.1 uses version 2 NFS, and solaris uses
version 3 NFS. In your mount command, specify you want version 2.

Hi Gautam. From the Solaris 2 FAQ:

3.28) What is this message: "automount: No network locking on host,
    contact administrator to install server change."?
 
    The other machine (an NFS server) is running 4.1.x and needs a
    patch from Sun to update its network lock daemon (lockd). If
    you don't install the patch on the server, file locking will
    not work on files mounted from "thathost". The lockd jumbo patch
    fixes a bunch of other lock manager problems, so it may be a
    Good Thing To Get; however, it may also cause the machine on
    which the patch is installed to have trouble talking to servers
    with no patch or older patches, so Be Warned.
 
    The lockd patches are: 100988 (4.1.3), 101817 (4.1-4.1.2)
    101784 (4.1.3_U1), 102264 (4.1.4) and 100518 (for Online: Disksuite).
 
    Make sure you install the latest version of those patches.

The latest Solaris 2 FAQ, including an HTML version, and some other goodies
can be obtained through ftp from <ftp://ftp.fwi.uva.nl/pub/solaris>.
