 What verison?
 What does strace say yum is doing?
 The sqlite documentation generally recommends against using NFS to
store the DB, although yum doesn't rely on multiple processes updating
the DB at once ... even so you might want to just have the packages
dirs. on NFS but leave the top level local.

 We're hoping that something like yum-avahi will allow you to share data
over the local network for Fedora 11, which is the "good" way to solve
this problem IMO.
