home directory weirdness with Kerberos+NFSv4



OK.  I am still working on this Kerberos+LDAP+NFSv4 transition.  Now, I
have started occasionally seeing some strange behavior when logging in
via ssh.

Essentially, what happens is that when logging in via SSH, the user is
sometimes prevented from accessing his home directory.  Now, miami is my
workstation into which I am physically logged in, while manta is a
remote host (in this case, a CentOS machine, but I can reliably
reproduce this will sshing in to a machine running Debian; all my Debian
machines, servers and workstations, are running Etch).  My user account
is roberto, with uid 2000.  Now, while I periodically get deinied access
to my home directory while using ssh to log in, this has never happened
when logging in at the console.

What I don't understand is:
 1) Why the problem when logging in via ssh?
 2) Why is kdestroy alone not sufficient (i.e., why do I also need to
 run kinit)?

If anyone has even the faintest idea what is going on, I would
appreciate to know your thoughts on this.
