Error 116 is ESTALE, though from the diagnostic messages it's not clear why the server thinks the filehandle
is stale. The first hex dump is the current NFS fh the client is using, and the second line is the fh the
server thinks would be correct (i.e. the result of a lookup.) Unless I've misread the lines above, the two
values are identical.
You might see if there's some way to log errors on the server to find out why the fh is being declared
stale.
