Les, thanks for the info.  Can you just give me a little more info in
regards to what you mean about "copy everything that needs to be there
first".  If mount my drive from the current location (/backups) to
/var/lib/backuppc then won't everything that is currently in /backups be
where /var/lib/backuppc is now ?  Do you mean to copy whatever is currently
in /var/lib/backuppc to /backups first, and then mount the drive at
/var/lib/backuppc ?

I current mount the NFS drive as follows:

backupdevice1:/shares/internal/PUBLIC /backups nfs
rsize=8192,wsize=8192,nosuid,soft 0 0

I took a look at the options and there is no async option, just a sync
option.  According to the info sync does the following:  All I/O to the file
system should be done synchronously.
