Mind that access to cached files is no longer authorized by the MDS, but by the
client itself. I wouldn't call it documentation, but
http://wiki.lustre.org/images/b/ba/Tuesday_lustre_automotive.pdf has an
illustration of why this is a problem when nameservices become out of sync
between MDS and Lustre clients (slides 23/24). Sounds like you hit a very
similar issue.

Daniel.
