Great. Thanks for confirming the delay related failure is fixed.
The rest are, as I suggested previously, probably due to to
copy.c::chmod() returning ENOTSUP on your NFS.
If you're interested, Paul suggested a way to confirm that here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2010-07/msg00012.html

What we may end up doing is marking certain tests as
only appropriate for local filesystems using something like:
  [ $(df -lP . | wc -l) = 1 ] && skip

cheers,
Pádraig.
