From the NFS FAQ at: http://www.ebsinc.com/solaris/network/nfs.html

Q: Why do I get the following error message:

  Stale NFS file handle

A1: This means that a file or directory that your client has open has
been removed or replaced on the server. It happens most often when a
dramatic change is made to the file system on the server, for example
if it was moved to a new disk or totally erased and restored. The
client should be rebooted to clear Stale NFS file handles.

Hope this helps.
