Hello,
Please run the cmd with extra debugging enabled, is ndmp turned on the 
filer ? ( check ndmpd status), you can also do ndmpd debug 70 to turn on 
extra debugging on the filer ( reset to 0 when done), check the log under 
/etc/ndmp.
Has any passwords changed on the filer or devices reconfigured lately ?
HTH
