ncpfs

Hopefully this is an appropriate question for this mailing list.
Here goes . . .

I am trying to build an ipx/nfs bridge (don't ask why) using ncpfs-0.17, kernel
1.3.72, and the ncp and ipx tools (I think these are the greatest thing since
kool-aid).

I have been successful mounting the netware volume and re-exporting via nfs.
I have also been able to mount it on a sparcstation via nfs. Using the
sparcstation I can browse the ncp volume and delete files in it. Unfortunately,
when I try to create/modify files it creates only the filename. An example:

pebbles{thayne}63: ls
comp.bat* cow* docs/ hp.bat*
pebbles{thayne}64: ls >twiddle
twiddle: Not owner
pebbles{thayne}65: ls
comp.bat* cow* docs/ hp.bat* twiddle*
pebbles{thayne}66: more twiddle
pebbles{thayne}67:

------snip--------

The ncpmount command was:
ncpmount -S ace -U twinkie -V usr -g XXX -f 777 -d 777 /doe

twinkie is supervisor equivalent (there should be no novell permission
restrictions)
both the -f and -d allow all permissions
-g XXX is an existing group
-S ace is the ncp server
-V usr is the ncp volume

nfsd and mountd are both started with --re-export

EVERYTHING seems to work excetp that files can't be created from the
sparcstation. I can however create files from the linux box!

Any ideas?
