So... you can access things under /home/david, but you cannot access
/home/david itself?
So, supposing that "fred" were some file that you happen to know is
in /home/david, then
ls /home/david fails with ESTALE and does not cause
any traffic to the server and
ls -l /home/david/fred succeeds.
Is that right?
Could you try:
echo 255 > /proc/sys/sunrpc/nfs_debug
and then do the "ls /home/david" and see what gets put in
/var/log/messages (or kern_log or syslog or where such things go).
