Hi, Zoltan -

This sounds like a DNS lookup failure to me, as though the client is attempting 
to verify some aspect of the mount.
Naturally, the programmer didn't bother including the lookup name in the error 
message, to make pursuit easier.  You may be able to deduce that based upon 
mount inspection.
