But not the other four directories?  What error do you get when you try=
?
What client are you using, and are you mounting with NFSv2, NFSv3, or
NFSv4?  Could we see a network trace of a failed mount?  (So, run

	tcpdump -s0 -wtmp.pcap

then attempt to mount one of the directories with a too-big inode
number, then kill tcpdump and send us tmp.pcap.)
