2.2.10 NFS Strangeness...

I experienced something strange with NFS on 2.2.10, this is the userland
nfsd, not knfsd.

I have a web server running 2.2.10 (this is the one of the 4-CPU SS-10's
with Ross Hyersparc that keep doing the spin_lock thing)...

On the web server, a directory used for logging is exported so that it can
be accessed from a shell server. The shell server is running SunOS 4.1.4.

The permissions on the logfiles are:

-rw-r----- 1 root cgibin 10243000 Sep 5 00:01 httpd-log.Sep0499.gz
-rw-r----- 1 root cgibin 11173520 Sep 6 00:01 httpd-log.Sep0599.gz
-rw-r----- 1 root cgibin 11136015 Sep 7 00:01 httpd-log.Sep0699.gz
-rw-r----- 1 root cgibin 13584484 Sep 8 00:01 httpd-log.Sep0799.gz
-rw-r----- 1 root cgibin 13120229 Sep 9 00:01 httpd-log.Sep0899.gz
-rw-r----- 1 root cgibin 13313907 Sep 10 00:01 httpd-log.Sep0999.gz
-rw-r----- 1 root cgibin 13494684 Sep 11 00:01 httpd-log.Sep1099.gz
-rw-r----- 1 root cgibin 69750667 Sep 12 00:01 httpd-log.Sep1199
-rw-r----- 1 root cgibin 18688287 Sep 12 09:37 httpd-log.Sep1299

I am a member of cgibin group.

As you can see above, the permissions are identical for all of the files,
yet, I can cat httpd-log.Sep1299 but not httpd-log.Sep1199 from the shell
server. Locally on the machine I can cat either file fine with same user and
group permissions.

Any ideas what could cause this?
