I had (and reported to IBM) this problem several months ago.  
How slow, or if fast, how loaded is your NFS server?  I was running Unix
on a 4meg 386sx-16 as a server, and when using 8000 byte NFS packets, I would
get corrupted data after a copy or xcopy.  I didn't have any problems at all
when I copied to/from a 386DX-25.  Dropping the packet size to 4K fixed
the problem.  I just upgraded my server, and was going to try 8000 byte
packets again.  There goes that idea I guess.
