I expect your problem is similar to the following FAQ entry.
Why don't symlinks work on samba-mounted filesystems?
http://www.cygwin.com/faq/faq_4.html#SEC65
Obviously, the solution is not exactly the same. My guess is your NFS
software is the component at fault but you'd need to debug this
situation to be sure. Why not use UNC/drive mappings for Windows machines
or Samba for other machines? That's one solution that doesn't require
any debugging! ;-)
