Raul:

Can you give me the exact error message that you are seeing?  Is the error
message showing up in /var/log/messages, pvfs2-client.log,
pvfs2-server.log, or stdout from your program?

Also, are you linking the application with the pvfs2 libraries or just
using the kernel module?

Which version of OrangeFS are you using?
