stale NFS file handle

FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE

I'm trying to connect to a Cygwin-based NFS server running on a remote
Windows server machine.

When I run (as root):

mkdir /some/dir
mount -t nfs foo.bar:/pub /some/dir

I do not get an error.  But when I cd to /some/dir I get an error
message that reads:

/some/dir: Stale NFS file handle.


Any suggestions on how to resolve this?  I have not been able to find
anything of help in the archives, and I'm not very familiar with the NFS
client options despite my RTFM of the manpage mount(8)
