So, here is the script with my modifications to it. It will mount your NFS share, do it's work, then dismount the share. Michael, maybe you could help me on one small part. The script needs to untar the files to the local system, possibly /tmp. This is because the NFS export on the remote system is RO, so this poses a small issue.
