The vanilla 2.6.18 server does not support referrals (though there are 
CITI patches that add support...the closest I see archived on our site is 
<http://www.citi.umich.edu/projects/nfsv4/linux/kernel-patches/2.6.18-rc6-1/linux-2.6.18-rc6-CITI_NFS4_ALL-1.diff>) 
Server support was added to the vanilla kernel for 2.6.19.
