Have you defined your mailboxes in your .muttrc? (I have overlooked the
obvious myself a time or two) 

mailboxes ! +mbox +foo +etc
or something along the lines of:
mailboxes `echo $HOME/Mail/* | sed 's/ [^ ]*sent//'`

Don't mean to insult you if that ^is^ too obvious, but the symptoms
match exactly.

I see this problems since some time, too. It's not a kernel issue but 
I suspect something in glibc got broken some time ago. Don't use mbox 
format via NFS. NFS is just a broken. Switch to maildir if your 
mailboxes are on an NFS share. Procmail supports this, too by the way. 
Just add a / behind your mailbox name in your procmailrc.
