I can't answer this directly but I did notice something in the 3.3.1 change
log which might be relevant:

<http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/GlusterFS_3.3.1>

  "nfs: make NFS filehandles deterministic
   
   The NFS3 file handles now includes just the bare minimum of
   (ident, exportid, gfid) and removes legacy 'variable' members
   which are unnecessary since the introduction of GFID backend"

If you're not on 3.3.1 already, it could be worth trying.

Brian.
