OK - Definitely seems to be an NFS problem -- sorry for having
troubled the BackupPC list.

When I do a shell command 'find | wc' on the cpool directory, I usually get
the right number of results but sometimes whole subdirectories are not
found.  This problem seems to come and go. As in sometimes, I get the
right results and sometimes I don't... This makes it even harder to
troubleshoot since I can't reliably reproduce the problem every time.

I am confused though why I'm not seeing any notation of this problem in my
log files (either on the nfs server or client)...

Thanks!!!
