We had a similar problem a while ago. With some help from the support hotline,
we determined that Apollo doesn't support NFS as completely as others,
particularly in the areas of security.

We got things working by:
edit your /etc/rc.nfs file to change
        startsrc -s rpc.mountd
to
        startsrc -s rpc.mountd -a "-n"

This will start the mount daemon with a -n switch. This is the non-secure version.

We also had to comment out the startup of rpc.statd and rpc.lockd to prevent other
various problems.

Under these conditions, we can mount IBM filesystems on the Apollo and vice-versa.
