    I can't remember any "nice, easy" kind of method of doing this;
probably somebody less stale than me can offer better.

    What *I* would do in this situation is break out the packet
sniffer.  Lookups in NFS are pretty easy to follow.  If you missed the
lookup of the thing you care about, that's harder, since open files
are referenced by an opaque nfs ID.  I don't remember how to turn that
back into a filename.
