Okay, you're going to have to ask Redhat to help you.  Redhat has patched their
kernel with so much weird stuff that it's impossible for a mere mortal to
troubleshoot.

My belief is that the client is trying NFSv3, but the server has a broken
implementation of NFSv3.  Either switch to the userspace NFS daemon or use
a system with a working NFSv3 server (i.e., one of the *BSDs).

Important safety note: linux NFS works, but only reliably if both the server and
the client are linux.  Crossplatform NFS is dicey at best.
