Does Isilon have a valid export for dcmimvmmta001?

Do a "isi nfs exports list" and fine the id number then do a " isi nfs exports list -i= -v" to make sure you have an export.

Alternativly you can do a showmount -e and look for your path.  If it is exports correctly do an rpcinfo -p and make sure yur rpc server are runnng on the client.. and check permissions on /mnt

Can I assume they are mounting as the server's local root user? I'm only speaking on behalf of a very basic configuration.

If you took defaults when creating the export, it squashes root (maps root to user "nobody").

Can you verify the following:

1) File Sharing > NFS > Add Export

2) Under "Access Control":

a) Credential mapping: "Map root users"

b) User name: nobody

This is the default; however in a basic configuration, if I am correctly assuming what you are trying to accomplish, you can change this to: root.  Another thing you can do instead and may or may not be the right choice is to instead change the owner of the directory to: nobody (via File Explorer or chmod), but I simply bring up the latter example of how the 2 options related to each other.

Once you do get the filesystem mounted, also, I noticed in your mount that you more-or-less took defaults (unless you trimmed the options for sake of providing just the relevant details), you may want to review the following KB articles for some bp's:

1) emc14001361: "Best practices for NFS client mount settings"

2) emc14000137: "Increase NFS performance with Isilon storage using client tuning"

I am making several assumptions here so I could be entirely off-base.
