 |  I disagree. I think the "unmount_on_exit" causes the problem. I'm not
 |  using that option and it works for me.

 Great attitude here, "hands hurts: cut it off". I am using amd on ~500
 machines here and it works just fine. What's the alternative, don't cross
 mount between machines? Perhaps the problem is that amd stops too late,
 and nfs or the network is not running anymore?
