Does running an 'ls' on the server in the exported directory that is
stale on the client resolve the problem (temporarily)?

Yes.


This still looks very much like a server issue to me. Could someone who
is seeing the bug try to capture an instance of the ESTALE error going
across the wire, and then do a fresh lookup of the same file from an
"ls" call. I'd like to check how the stale filehandle differs from the
freshly looked up one...

Please use "tcpdump -s 9000 -w /tmp/binary.pcap port 2049 and host
my.servers.name" for the actual capture.

Will do.

FWIW my server is running 2.6.9-final. Client mount options in fstab are "defaults,tcp" and server options are (rw,no_root_squash,async).
