I am getting several "permission errors" when using
"lstat". So far I only found this on Directories.
I changed a program to retry the "lstat" whenever
a "permission error" occurs and it works successfully.

I'm also getting "Stale NFS file handle" error when "lstat" and
"read"  a file. This seems to happen only on a VFAT filesystem
but I am not sure.

I am sorry, but the error occurs when "lstat" and "open". Not "read".

Are you exporting a FAT fs with NFS? It's expected to break in some 
situations. Read http://nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-howto/server.html
