You shouldn't see any direct communication between the NFS server and
the KDC. All information is passed indirectly via the NFS client, and
used to establish a GSS context during the initial handshake. In other
words, in your setup, if you see encrypted packets on the wire, Kerberos
has done its job already, and the errors you're seeing are unlikely to
be intrinsic to Kerberos itself, but rather caused by side-effects.

Kind regards,

Daniel
