Given they explicitly call out running on nfs as a reason it might fail,
maybe it would be a good idea not to ;).

Just as a sanity check, are you sure rpc.statd and rpc.lockd are both
running? Hmm, I don't see a separate lockd process anymore on RHEL6,
but does lsmod show the lockd module? Is the nfslock service configured
to start at boot?

If you're got a red hat contract, they've got a page for 5.5 lock issues
up at:

Some of it might still be relevant.
