I haven't done NFS, only AFS, but there was a command line to force 
the GUI to update.  It eventually would anyway and you get a very 
pretty disk icon that looks a lot like the netinfo manager app icon 
for the disk.  Since the icon was clearly borrowed from NFS for AFS I 
would expect that everything should work.

That said I do remember seeing a howto document for NFS on OSX that 
looked just incredibly long and complex.

Ah, yes, the command line was: /usr/sbin/disktool -r
