John,
If I recall correctly, the .nfsXXX files are from the nfs server/client operation/interaction of the netapp and the sun servers. I believe that you can remove them.
Have you searched sunsolve.sun.com for a potential solution? One reference there is to have a cron job run periodically to remove the .nfsxxx files that have not been modified in seven days.
Hope that helps.

Subject: [cciug] .nfsXXXX files on NetApp filer interfere with ClearCase
remove operations ...
We have a couple of Sun servers running CCase 4.2P3, with
VOB (db's too, not just pools) and view storage on a NetApp
F740 filer. We have configured the system as per Rational's
whitepaper on using NAS (network attached storage.)
The problem we are having is as follows. When we delete a
VOB or a view that resides on the filer, the filer creates
.nfsXXX files that cause the remove operation (e.g., rmvob)
to fail. I believe these files are created by renaming files
that are open when they are being deleted.
I'd like to know if anyone else has run into this, and if
they found a credible solution for the problem.
