I'm replying to my own post because I figured it out. I ran strace on 
the setup program to see exactly where it was failing. The solution is 
to make sure that the "link_relative" option is set on the NFS export on 
the server. Without it, the links that the setup program creates are all 
absolute, which trips it up when it crosses file systems.
