the correct syntax is '%include', not '#include' and the NFS server must be 
given with its IP address, not the DNS name:

install nfs --server=1.2.3.4 --dir=/vol/updts/staging/CentOS_4.3
%include /path/to/file

Once the installation system is running, the mount point for the used NFS 
share by directive "install" is /mnt/source .

So if you want to include file 
1.2.3.4:/vol/updts/staging/CentOS_4.3/ks/foo.ks, use:

install nfs --server=1.2.3.4 --dir=/vol/updts/staging/CentOS_4.3
%include /mnt/source/ks/foo.ks

my $ 0.02
