Correct me if I am wrong.  But doesn't the spec for NFS say that you cannot re 
advertise/mount a mounted NFS volume?  Or does CAP just not care if the volume 
that it is advertising is a remote volume?

What you ought to do is just purchase someones NFS client for the Mac.  Then 
you could just mount the NFS volume directly off of the IBM.

(See Wollogong, or InterCon for clients)
