NFS upgrades to F12 failing

Has anyone managed to successfully do an nfs based install/upgrade to F12?
On our machines the inital nfs mount is failing. If you try the mount
manually then you get an error saying:
mount -t nfs servername:/iso/dir /mnt/isodir
mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking.
mount.nfs: Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd.
mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified
If you add -o nolock then the mount works as expected - but I can't make
anaconda do that!
Is there something odd about our NFS setup (it's the same server we've
used for all previous upgrades), or are there arguments we can pass to
anaconda to get around this?
At the moment I'm stuck and can't see a way around this.
Details of the exact failure are in:

Cheers
Simon.
