I know what you mean... No, I have created a subdirectory in
/home/cormac with a testfile in it, i.e. on the server (486):
        ls /home/cormac
        nfs_test
        ls /home/cormac/nfs_test
        testfile
        cat /home/cormac/nfs_test/testfile
        This is a test for nfs from 486

Thanks for the suggestion, though.

I'm wondering if it is because the directory in question
is a user directory? I thought it might be because /home
is on a separate parition, but that doesn't make sense
because I can see /home/lost+found/testfile.

Regards,
Cormac.
