	Try this:

NF0:       Handler = l:nfs-handler
           Stacksize = 6000       
           Priority = 0           
           GlobVec = 1

	This is the mountlist entry that is included in the latest version of
DNet on ucbvax.  More importantly, make sure you have the latest version of
nfs-handler, if you're using a recent version of DNet (i.e. 2.1x).  It appears
that something has changed in the code for snfs that breaks older versions of
nfs-handler.  I had the same symptoms you are seeing until I replaced both the
mountlist entry and nfs-handler simultaneously.

By the way, I'm always seeing comments like "This seems to be what I've been
told to use," or "There isn't any documentation for DNet client xxxx."  Don't
people get the entire distribution when they install DNet?  Where are these
partial distributions coming from?  Or is it that people just don't R TFM?

On another note, has anyone been able to get through to Matt on overload?  I've
been getting bouncing mail for three months using the path
apple!spooge!overload!dillon, which is the only path our pathalias stuff knows
about.
