I haven't had this problem with NFS.  Make sure that /u does *not* exist
when you do the mount.  Apollo NFS uses "gateway" type files for NFS
mount points.  It creates them on the fly.  If you try something like:

	% mkdir /bar
	% mount foo:/bar /bar

It will fail!  Something else for us old UNIX hacks to remember.
