Client: 2.6.8.1, server: 2.4.27 (serving ext3)
/proc/mounts: rw,nosuid,nodev,v3,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,hard,udp,lock

Behavior I see is identical to that on a local (ext3) fs on 2.6.8.1 and
also on local ext3 on 2.4.27, namely that TEMP/BAR still exists. This
looks like a long standing kernel bug since the rename(2) seems to
succeed:

(snippet from strace):
write(3, "...", 3)                      = 3
close(3)                                = 0
link("FOO", "TEMP/BAR")                 = 0
rename("TEMP/BAR", "FOO")               = 0
unlink("FOO")                           = 0

output:
ls: FOO: No such file or directory
-rw-r--r--    1 fvm      sec             3 Sep 16 00:21 TEMP/BAR
