If the nfsid unmap fails to a server which doesn't do nfsid mapping
(e.g. Ultrix 3.0), then attach fails to remove the mount table entry on
the server (what shows up in server:/etc/rmtab). This is probably
because it assumes the remote mountd is screwed up. Instead, the attach
should interpret a 'RPC_PROCUNAVAIL' error code as an indication that
the host in question doesn't understand uid mapping at all, and attach
should continue as best it can.
