Your log shows that rm succeeds in removing each file (all unlink syscalls
succeed), yet the directory is not empty, so it rewinds it and goes
through again -- and all names are still there.  The _second_ unlink
attempt fails with ENOENT, because now NFS is reporting that it's gone:

  access("test/config.h.in", W_OK)        = 0
  unlink("/proc/self/fd/4/config.h.in")   = 0
  ...
  access("test/config.h.in", W_OK)        = -1 ESTALE (Stale NFS file handle)

ESTALE seems wrong here.   Why does the kernel return that?
