I had to something on the same line at a client.  On Mac OS X (10.5)
workstation, users were complaining that "network files"  (NFS export
from Linux file server) were visible in the "finder" but on clicking
it would not open.   I asked them to open a terminal with a couple of
tabs and showed them how to use "cd" to the paths that had the NFS
mounts.  The problem went away.
