"soft" nfs locks are very very very dangerous... i hope you know what
you are doing. They work well for MacOS X though, not for Linux.

Out of curiosity, before you killed famd, did you try killing nautilus?
"pkill nautilus" or something of that sort.
Also, did you change your fam config file to NOT lock NFS (also the
init.d config opts, which should be coming from /etc/default/fam but
they are not and you have to change the init.d script. see man famd and
look for "-l")
man famd
-l Disable polling of files on remote NFS servers.
That might not answer your problem, but it's a start ;-) I still get
locks on NFS dirs every now and then. When I do:
sudo lsof | grep fam
I find famd holding up those directories even after killing nautilus...
perhaps it's time to move on from FAM to an alternative (if there are
any) or just patching FAM to not poll remote or removable filesystems
like nfs, smbfs, iso9660, or whatever else...
