Subject: Stale NFS File Handle but !NFS

Anyone got an idea why I am getting the below error with today's git
while compiling the kernel?

  LD      arch/x86/vdso/built-in.o
scripts/Makefile.build:373: net/netfilter/.xt_mac.o.cmd: Stale NFS file handle
make[2]: stat: net/netfilter/.xt_mac.o.cmd: Stale NFS file handle
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `net/netfilter/.xt_mac.o.cmd'.  Stop.
make[1]: *** [net/netfilter] Error 2
make: *** [net] Error 2
parag@...ag-desktop:~/kernel-dev/linux-2.6-wk$ rm net/netfilter/.xt_mac.o.cmd
rm: cannot remove `net/netfilter/.xt_mac.o.cmd': Stale NFS file handle
parag@...ag-desktop:~/kernel-dev/linux-2.6-wk$ sudo rm
net/netfilter/.xt_mac.o.cmd

Even trying 'sudo rm -f' on that file gives the same error.

I am not using NFS at all which makes this one sound weird!

Thanks
Parag
