You probably tried to set INDEX=MEMORY? That's not working with
1.0-stable. Would work with 1.0-tests.

With 1.0-stable + NFS maybe the best idea would be to store indexes
somewhere in local disk, eg. /tmp. 1.0-tests support indexes in NFS
somewhat better than 1.0-stable but it's still not perfect either.
