Trouble viewing image using NFS on OSX10.6

[luke.l]

Hi there,

I have an interesting problem with a container field which is a calculation (result is container) and it references a text field, which then has a file path entered.

I am connected to the file server via NFS (this cannot be changed). The permissions on the remote directory are read and write.

The text field = imagemac:/directoryName/fileName

However all I see in the container field is "The file cannot be found: Test.jpg"

The way the remote directories have been mounted, using NFS, does not seem to put a volume name under directory /Volumes. So it appears as if the directory is on the local machine.

I've come across a similar post on the forums which I have pasted below, however it is kind of inconclusive. I've also tried using the IP address of the file server in the file path as suggested in the below post with no success.

I have done a few tests and can get this working in several other scenarios.

I have tested putting the image on a local directory using imagemac:/directoryName/fileName, this works fine.

I have tested putting the image on a remote directory using SMB and path imagemac:/volumeName/directoryName/fileName, this works fine as well.

I have also tested this using NFS on a PC using the path imagepc:/driveLetter:/directoryName/fileName and this works just fine.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated as I am kind of stuck.

Regards,

Luke
