Thanks.

I recompiled the kernels with the NFS-patches (the ALL-NFS patch) and it
removed the errormessages, and the lock now survives the reboot of the
server :-)

However, it only works when the hostname matches the name used when
mounting the NFS-filesystem on the client. And it generally doesn't on a
failover setup where multiple boxes share a "service-name" but have
uniqe hostnames.
