Trouble mounting NFS shares in %post script of a kickstart FC6 install

Hello:

I'm having some difficulty with something I've done successfully with  
FC3 and CentOS 4, but seems to be barfing with FC6.  I use kickstart  
installs to setup my office workstations, and I've successfully used % 
post scripts to mount NFS shares and install software from them.  For  
some reason, it's not working with FC6 kickstart installs.  There is  
no firewall issue on the NFS server (a machine running CentOS 4.4).   
The really strange part is that after the install, I can mount the  
very same NFS share just fine, but during the kickstart install's % 
post script the NFS mount fails with a "mount.nfs: Input/output  
error".  I've fiddled with NFS mount options in my script, but so far  
I'm not getting any success.  The only other clue I have is that on  
the NFS server, there are log entries for the failure to mount:

Mar 23 11:11:37 NFS_server mountd[3219]: authenticated mount request  
from NFS_client:993 for /space0/export/nfs/FC6/addons (/space0/export/ 
nfs/FC6)

(computer names changed to protect the innocent)

I would be grateful if someone could clue me in as to what's going  
on.  Thanks in advance for your help.
