    /etc/rc.local is one of the last script to be called at boot. All
NFS filesystems
  should be mounted at that point. Are your NFS flesystems in /etc/fstab and
  mounted "normally" by the system or are there mounted by some custom
  way ?

Its a regular NFS filesystem mounted normally from /etc/fstab
