Ok, I see.

Then it must be a bug in either nfsd or in the kernel. Because noone is 
changing the files but me, and when it happens, I can't even save to the 
save.

Besides, I get another error. Sometimes the contents of a directory just 
disappears, and when I do a "cd .." and a cd back to the directory it's 
normal again. Ideas?
