I had two issues which caused the same behavious for me. Maybe check those.

1) there was a race condition in the nfs server, not yet fixed in 2.6.8.1
    that caused stale handels if the server restarted too fast, i.e.,
    without at least a "sleep 1" between stop and start.
    Neil sent a patch for this on the list on August 18th.

2) on SuSE 9.0, (maybe 9.1, maybe earlier too) the /etc/init.d/nfsserver
    script was broken in that it called "/usr/sbin/exportfs -au" before
    "killproc rpc.mountd" which caused a lot of stale handles. Maybe
    you have sth. similar?

cu,
Frank
