Jim, see if you can just do 

	# mkdir -p /share/stack/build/agosminor.dsk1

Why are you unable to remove the mount point? If you were to cd there
would you be on a local filesystem, or maybe there's a link or some
automounted point that takes you to a FS you don't own??

If you cd there, can you create a file, or write to this disk as
root in any way?

Yes its local... but can't delete, mv or otherwise destroy it.

I know it's kind of a brute force approach, but in the interest of
expediency, maybe you could reboot.

Gosh... the flush toilet approach... NO way..  Come up with 
something better then that.  Either we have a but in the tool,
an OS bug or what ever.

I've seen similar messages like "missing file" for files which are
really there from stale nfs things.  if the nfs server came up after
your system (which it easily may have) there could have been some
funny nfs issues --- wonder if paul shaughnessy or charlie briggs or
chet would have anything useful to add...

Well, lets restate this then. You sent this to odehelp.
The ODE tool is not broken and is working normally with
this tree. 

Given that all of the build/backingtree servers were rebooted
this AM and may be in an indeterminate state (as may your machine), 
my guess is that your machine has an NFS problem. If you would
like to spend the morning tracking it down, feel free.  

Since we have determined that the tools and the server are working 
normally, I was suggesting the quickest (albeit the crudest) method
to get you working quickly again.  If this is not your priority, by
all means - track this down.
