Interesing hint.
I don't have an NFS mount now.  But I'm inside of a chroot environment
and previously had an NFS mount from outside the chroot into
inside (on the same machine and even the same physical filesystem).
But I got locking problems and decided to move the DL_DIR into
the chroot.  But probably there's still some wrong info in
the cache, but it still complains about not being able to lock,
though a can lock on exactly the same file inside the same chroot
using my own test program.  I had to hack bitbake (remove the
locking) to get around this).

For real NFS mount from one machine to the other I never had
problems, and probably I should do just that and start completely
fresh...

Thanks again,
