I went to look up exactly what the problem was back when I
ran into the problem with the failure to report all files in a directory.
Turns out that we decided that it was a bug in nsf under redhat 7.0.
We solved it by upgrading to redhat 7.2
So I don't think that helps you since you are using Solaris 8. Sorry.

Cheers,
bob
