Linux client kerberos problem with attempted nfsv4 connection...

I'm trying to create a krb5 authenticated nfsv4 connection from a Linux 
Fedora core 3 client to a NetApp filer server. 

The trick is, the NetApp is running kerbors connected to a Windows AD 
KDC...

I've created a keytab for the client with a principal of:

Keytab name: FILE:/etc/krb5.keytab
KVNO Principal
---- 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   4 nfs/client.bu.edu@AD.BU.EDU


On the client a mount attempt gives

client:~# mount -tnfs4 -o sec=krb5 server.bu.edu:/vol/unix_share 
/mnt/unix_share
mount: block device server.bu.edu:/vol/unix_share is write-protected, 
mounting read-only
mount: cannot mount block device server.bu.edu:/vol/unix_share read-only

Mounting without the -o sec=krb5 works fine.

Heres where I need help...  I get the following suspicous messages in 
/var/log/messages:

May 20 11:04:43 client rpc.gssd[6442]: WARNING: Cannot find KDC for 
requested realm while getting initial ticket for principal 
'nfs/client.bu.edu@AD.BU.EDU' from keytab 'FILE:/etc/krb5.keytab'

and

May 20 11:04:43 client rpc.gssd[6442]: WARNING: Failed to obtain 
machine credentials for connection to server server.bu.edu

The first one is wierd as I have krb5.conf set up, have joined the domain
with samba, and can kinit an AD account just fine.

I've googled these errors with no luck.  I'm also working with nfsv4 and 
netapp people on it, but I thought I would give this list a try as well.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

-Jeff
