This seems to be the problem.  My traceshows that VFS_CHECKEXP()
on the mount point returns EACCESS (permission denied) error.
But, the permission of the files and directories on the server are
set to -rw-r--r-- and drwxrwxr-x respectively.  Even nobody should
be able to access them, I think.  How should I change the
permission to make it accessable?  Thanks.
