I typically see this when I remove a file that is open, and it renames it to .nfs##### - For example if you have a open file on one machine, try to remove it - the nfs system will rename it to .nfs#####. Until you close the open file everytime you try to erase it will get renamed to .nfs####
This is an nfs client behavior that attempts to mimic Unix behavior when an open file is deleted by changing unlinks of open files into renames. Without more details, I can't say whether Dave was experiencing the same thing. If so, it is more likely due to a change in file usage than a change in the server OS.
