If you're using nfsv4, this is probably a known bug in the server
delegation code: it doesn't recall delegations on rename or unlink (and
vi is probably reaniming a new file over the old file instead of
modifying the old file in place).  I'll see if I can get our fix to this
ready to submit next week....  In the meantime, a workaround is to
disable leases (echo 0 >/proc/sys/fs/leases-enable).  Could you confirm
whether the problem goes away after doing that?  (And possibly
restarting the server?)

Yes, it's a serious bug.

I've just reverted to nfs3.

I still have one anomaly but that could be something else. At least I can edit 
my files now.
