Looking at the tcpdump you posted, this does not seem to be an
actual NFS problem. The posted NFS RPC calls get replied to promptly.
The problem could be with amd(8). Are you using YP? I have seen
one report of amd and YP somehow not working well together.

If the problem is reproducible, try mounting the filesystem
by hand (not via amd), and see if it persists.
