Yes, I'm having the same experience. It seems Solaris is umounting idle
NFS-filesystems (at least some of them). So your first try lets Solaris
start mounting the filesys, but until it is finished, IDL thinks the
file isn't there. At the time of the retry, your NFS is mounted and
everything ok.
This seems to be connected to the automounting feature of Solaris (cf.
floppies)
