I am experiencing a strange problem wherein a file
placed on an exported directory accessible by multiple
clients is occassionally only visible to SOME clients.
However, if I "force" some fake activity on the shared
directory (e.g. touching, then deleting a file in an
infinite loop), then ALL clients see the file at ALL
times. This leads me to belive the problem is related
to some buffering or caching... but where?

Relevant information:

Clients
-------
RedHat 9
kernel 2.6.0-test7
mounted
'rsize=8192,wsize=8192,noatime,nodiratime,noac'

Server
------
RedHat 9
kernel 2.4.20-8
nfs-utils-1.0.1-2.9
exported "*(rw)"
dir is 'ext3' mounted with 'noatime, nodiratime'

Any and all help is appreciated.
