Nah, that won't work. The xdr_* functions are modifying the position of 
the cursor in the XDR-stream. Subsequent reads will continue where the 
previous one finished.

What you probably need to do is something like this:

xdr_nfs_fh3 (XDR *xdrs, nfs_fh3 *objp)
{
	uint32_t size;

	if (!xdr_int (xdrs, &size))
		if (!xdr_opaque (xdrs, (u_int *)&objp->data.data_len, size))
			return FALSE
	return TRUE;
}

That will read the size of the fhandle first, to determine how long the opaque 
fhandle is, and use that size to read it.

Cheers,
Niels
