The home directories are indeed nfs mounted. And after a little chat with the system administrator, it turns out the problem is exactly as Adam has suggested in his reply about the clocks not running at the same time. So I guess there is nothing I can do, unless the clocks on both the client and the server are in sync! --Sadiq
