did you check the md5's after downloading them too?

these kind of things arent consistent. you might have been lucky with the 
kernel build, or else the affected files werent compiled (unlike building 
something like libc, most of the files in the kernel sources are 
untouched by most kernel compiles.. even a compile of LINT would still 
not touch most of the tree, since youre only ocmpiling for one arch at a 
time)

it might pay off to write a script or something to traverse the tree on 
both sides to verify a checksum or something on each file, and make sure 
that theyre ok.

its probably the peecee nfs server, but nfs itself is not (likely) the 
source of the problem..
