gvfs-monitor-dir dirname only reflects changes made on the NFS client.
I'm assuming that the behavior change between Gutsy and Hardy is the
move to gvfs.

Nautilus behavior in Hardy changes over NFS mount
I looked more closely. The precipitating event wasn't the addition and
removal of my Ipod. The USB storage device disconnected, then

Public bug reported:
I have an external USB hard drive permanently connected to my Hardy Heron
desktop.

If I attach and detach another USB storage device, namely my Ipod, the
external drive will occasionally remount and remap,
Public bug reported:
This behavior has changed since Gutsy.
A nautilus window on a NFS share will not update file attributes if the
files are being changed on the NFS server. Too, if a file is added or
removed, again on the file server, this will not update until the window
is reloaded.
