VSC error mounting backup - "Unmarshalling Error: prefix xsd is not bound to a namespace datastore"

I've been having problems during testing of single file restore, I keep getting this error (screenshot attached) "Mounting the backup failed. Reason: Error mounting". VSC error mounting backup - "Unmarshalling Error: prefix xsd is not bound to a namespace datastore"

I've scaled back to simply trying to mount the backup using right click and select mount and receive the same error message.

This environment is NFS datastores, vCenter 4.1.0, DOT 7.3.4P4, VSC 2.0.1

It's probably something simple I missed in the setup, any ideas?

Thanks

Dominic

Appears to be caused by this option on the vfiler in question:

nfs.export.auto-update off

now changed to:

nfs.export.auto-update on

Restores and mounts are now working.

The initial setup was done by someone else so will go through and check everything.
