NFSv3 + krb5 home directory problem

[Jim Davis <jdavis@CS.Arizona.EDU>]

I've been trying to get NFSv3 home directory mounts with sec=krb5
working between a Netapp filer running OnTap 7.0.5 and a Fedora Core 6
client with the latest nfs-* RPMs installed and kernel version
2.6.18-1.2869.fc6.  Our KDCs run FreeBSD 6.1 with the MIT Kerberos
port installed.  Authentication seems to work okay,

bsod$ /bin/su - testacct
Password:

but the home directory isn't usable.

/bin/su: warning: cannot change directory to /home/testacct: Permission 
denied
-bash: /home/testacct/.bash_profile: Permission denied

The mount though did succeed:

-bash-3.1$ mount | grep testacct
sinagua:/vol/vol0/home/testacct on /home/testacct type nfs 
(rw,nfsvers=3,tcp,timeo=600,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,intr,sec=krb5,addr=172.16.1.252)
-bash-3.1$ grep testacct /etc/auto.home
testacct 
-rw,bg,vers=3,tcp,timeo=600,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,intr,sec=krb5 
sinagua:/vol/vol0/home/testacct

But

-bash-3.1$ klist -e
klist: No credentials cache found (ticket cache FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_500_vZWPDb)


Kerberos 4 ticket cache: /tmp/tkt500
klist: You have no tickets cached

Okay, I thought the PAM stack would provide the credentials.  But even 
after running kinit...

-bash-3.1$ kinit
Password for testacct@CS.ARIZONA.EDU:
-bash-3.1$ cd
-bash: cd: /home/testacct: Permission denied
-bash-3.1$ klist -e

-bash-3.1$ exit

...the directory isn't usable

bsod$ exit
exit

Running rpc.gssd in verbose mode produced

That's the extent of output while the commands above ran.

And the (enormous) strace output file seems mostly to consist of polling
loops something like

2720  poll([{fd=6, events=POLLIN, revents=POLLERR|POLLHUP}, {fd=0, 
events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0,

events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, 
events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0,

2720  chdir("/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/nfs") = 0
2720  open("/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/nfs", 
O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY) = 7
2720  fstat64(7, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0555, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
2720  fcntl64(7, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)   = 0
2720  getdents64(7, /* 3 entries */, 4096) = 80
2720  getdents64(7, /* 0 entries */, 4096) = 0
2720  close(7)                          = 0

Any ideas?
