The nfs people think it's probably a problem caused by time resolution
discrepancies between nfs and the mounted ext3 filesystem. Now the
actual error is caused by a process accessing a directory or file on
the file system (kmail syncing the mail directories), and said
directory or file being removed (or more likely replaced, since it's
still there afterwards) by another process before the first one has
finished. I can't figure out what that second process could be though,
it's strange. Any ideas?
