Hi,

I have a similar configuration but with dovecot 2.2.12 and NFS for me 
works fine. Have you insert the "mail_fsync = always" in the right 
place? Is there only one "mail_fsync" setting in your config? First 
check this:

root at mx:/etc/dovecot# grep mail_fsync /etc/dovecot/ -R
conf.d/10-mail.conf:mail_fsync = always

root at mx:/etc/dovecot# dovecot -n | grep -E 'sync|nfs'
mail_fsync = always
mail_nfs_index = yes
mail_nfs_storage = yes
maildir_very_dirty_syncs = yes

# 2.2.12: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 x86_64 Debian 6.0.9

Let me know.
Ciao
