Tom, when you originally transferred the files from the CD, what platform was the CD loaded on? The Windows CD device driver does not support the Rock Ridge extensions like Linux does. So, a CD created by a Linux machine often has extra data (e.g. file links) stored on the CD that Windows won't find. This is why it is always recommended to read a Linux CD using a Linux system. When the Linux FTP server reads the CD, it will find the full directory and file contents and will serve them up. Using that technique you can transfer them to any other platform to be served up later. I would be surprised if NFS will work when FTP does not.
