Anyone have an ideal what could cause this? This is from my WebSphere

"I have to use an NFS mount to mount a remote directory from

So, I issue the command as follows:
mount -t nfs
hisservername.win.wellsfargo.com:/export/depot/WebSphere/5.1 /mnt
Subsequent to this, my session completely hangs.

This may have something to do with NFS foreground and background mounts.
I think you were almost there, trying to put the mount progress int he
background, but what you are looking for is the "bg" option to your
mount command.
It's been a wile since I've worked with NFS, but I do remember having to
mount NFS filesystems with the bg option to keep the client machine from
becoming blocked on I/O when the source was unavailable or slow.
