Sure, those can be fixed but that is not the problem here.
The problem is that exportfs sends the errstr back from what
it gets from open(2). The kernel gives you back the path attempted
to be accessed in quotes prefixed to 'does not exist'.
Every fileserver using Enotexist would not fix exportfs causing
this issue with v9fs.
