This could explain your problems.

Some time around fc21/fc22, the defaults for mount-type for nfs mounts 
was changed to nfsv4.

I.e. the meaning of file type "nfs" in calls to mount and in /etc/fstab 
was changed from "nfs"=="nfsv3" to "nfs"=="nfsv4". I also recall, their 
were some mistakes/oversights in this transitions, which were fixed 
later on.

I.e. if your server is nfsv3, you should check your nfs-related 
config-files in /etc/.
