Ok, the problem here appears to be that Martin had 

ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiserfs-for-2.4/linux-2.4.5-reiserfs-quota+knfsd+umount-fix.patch.bz2

applied, which adds an "nfsd_operations" interface between knfsd and the
filesystem.  XFS doesn't have this by default (since this is not part of
the standard kernel) but the patch Jan submitted at

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-xfs&m=99535721113926&w=2

will probably make these play nice together again.
