This is only a warning, and should not prevent mounting. Bug 1184626 was
opened to include a dependency on the 'attr' package, so that the
warning does not occur in future. It will likely make it in 3.6.3.

You can install the 'attr' package on your CentOS-5.11 to prevent the
message.

If mounting fails, something else is going on and you should check the
logs on the client and server to get an idea about the cause.
