I'd start with blank hosts.{allow,deny} to rule it out and restart all the relevant services. It would be good if you could post /etc/fstab entries for your NFS mounts as well. Have you checked whether there's anything interesting in the logs? To those who suggested SSHFS or SMB/CIFS as viable replacements, well they're not as both require user authentication to mount. SMB/CIFS share can be mounted automatically at user's logon but is anyone here using it form user's $HOME, without modifying cifs kernel module that is? BTW, I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with users' $HOME and data shares on NFS at my work place, haven't tested 12.04 yet but will try doing it next week.
