Thanks to all who made suggestions. Here is what caused the issue: > I think the MacOS X NFS server does not allow subdirectories to be > mounted.

I'll be talking to my Apple engineer about why this is and if it can be fixed. Supposedly Solaris can be setup to be a client to a OS X server and use LDAP maps from the OS X machine to define mount points and such. I am working on that too, but now I am wondering how home areas from the Mac will be mounted if you can't mount subdirectories. Ugh! This was supposed to be easier...
