Well, there's a way to find out if Kevin wants to try it.   He can  
run lsvfs in Terminal to show what kinds of file systems are  
mounted.  The output looks like this:

$ lsvfs
Filesystem                        Refs Flags
-------------------------------- ----- ---------------
ufs                                  0 local
nfs                                  4
fdesc                                1
cd9660                               0 local
union                                0
hfs                                  1 local, dovolfs
volfs                                1
devfs                                1
afpfs                                1
webdav                               1
fusefs                               1


I currently have the main HD in my MBP mounted (of course), a drive  
over AFP mounted, a webDAV share mounted, and a SSH session mounted  
via fusefs.

I don't actually have any nfs drives mounted (or even present); I  
have no idea what that's about.
