You might want to try the latest snapshot, just in case it helps,
but I doubt it will:

In any case, please try rebuilding with -DHAVE_BUGGY_NFS_TIME_STAMPS.
Your NFS client's kernel (linux-2.6.9-34.0.1.ELsmp, you said) may be at fault.
[from lib/utimens.c]

 /* Some Linux-based NFS clients are buggy, .. see
    <http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132673> for references to
    some of the problems with Linux 2.6.16.  If this affects you,
    compile with -DHAVE_BUGGY_NFS_TIME_STAMPS;
