Why don't you try nfs instead of nsf?

If nfs isn't in the kernel, you can look in modules.dep for dependencies
and go:
modprobe --node # sunrpc.o
modprobe --node # lockd.o
modprobe --node # nfs.o

those are the dependencies on mine anyways.

The better way would be to just throw it in 
/etc/beowulf/fstab:
# NFS (for example and default friendliness)
$MASTER:/home   /home           nfs     defaults        0 0
$MASTER:/usr/bin        /usr/bin                nfs     defaults        0 0
$MASTER:/usr/sbin       /usr/sbin               nfs     defaults        0 0
 etc....

The NFS modules will automatically mount on the slaves if you do that.
