Another way to get this working is to put the mounts in the namespace. I.e. 
add user properties to the host you will access files on that point the
directories to the actual host where the files are stored. An example:

User Property: NFS-REMOTE-FILESYSTEM /s1 sol:/home/sol/s1
User Property: NFS-REMOTE-FILESYSTEM /s2 cayuga:/home/cayuga/s2
User Property: NFS-REMOTE-FILESYSTEM /s3 gemini:/home/gemini/s3
User Property: NFS-REMOTE-FILESYSTEM /s4 pollux:/home/pollux/s4
User Property: NFS-REMOTE-FILESYSTEM /u0 castor:/home/castor/u0
User Property: NFS-REMOTE-FILESYSTEM /u1 gemini:/home/gemini/u1
User Property: NFS-REMOTE-FILESYSTEM /u2 pollux:/home/pollux/u2
User Property: NFS-REMOTE-FILESYSTEM /u3 pollux:/home/pollux/u3
User Property: NFS-REMOTE-FILESYSTEM /u4 gemini:/home/gemini/u4
User Property: NFS-REMOTE-FILESYSTEM /u5 gemini:/home/gemini/u5
User Property: NFS-REMOTE-FILESYSTEM /u6 castor:/home/castor/u6
User Property: NFS-REMOTE-FILESYSTEM /u7 pollux:/home/pollux/u7
User Property: NFS-REMOTE-FILESYSTEM /u8 pollux:/home/pollux/u8
User Property: NFS-REMOTE-FILESYSTEM /u9 castor:/home/castor/u9
User Property: NFS-REMOTE-FILESYSTEM /u10 gemini:/home/gemini/u10
User Property: NFS-REMOTE-FILESYSTEM /scratch castor:/home/castor/scratch
User Property: NFS-REMOTE-FILESYSTEM /usr/spool/mail sol:/usr/spool/mail
User Property: NFS-REMOTE-FILESYSTEM /u pollux:/home/pollux/u
User Property: NFS-REMOTE-FILESYSTEM /home/castor castor:/home/castor
User Property: NFS-REMOTE-FILESYSTEM /home/gemini gemini:/home/gemini

You only need to do this for nfs mounts or symbolic links to nfs mounts
(e.g. /s1 above is a symbolic link to /home/sol/s1 which is nfs mounted from
the host sol).

Hope this helps,
