In that case... upgrade the kernel to 2.6.11.2 (no later)
Now :)

There were quite a few issues around that time to do with xfs/nfs.
search lkml for "XFS: inode with st_mode == 0" (though that went 
off-list for some reason)
also try "2.6.9: NFS (+XFS) Problem - Clients getting Stale 
filehandles." <grin>

A test is to issue an 'ls' in the myth directory *on the server* whilst 
the stale handle persists - it should recover.

PS the reason for sticking at 2.6.11.2 is that it "works for me" and I 
saw a message "Re: Possible XFS bug on 2.6.11.5" so stick with it for now...
