We worked pretty hard in the past to get it working and to track down
the problem. We came to the conclusion that it is a sqlite problem.If
you google for it:
http://www.google.nl/search?q=sqlite+nfs&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

You can see that is a reasonable conclusion. There is a solution
metioned at some thread in bugs.kde.org how you can fix this problem.

Please use our mailinglist to contact us.
