Sorry for not being more complete. What I did was create the script (I
named it "keepalive" with the text I posted (all the stuff in-between the
dashed lines) and save it in the /root folder. It must be executable ( sudo
chmod +x /root/keepalive). Then call it from rc.local with /root/keepalive
.

Title:
  sub-directories initially only accessible by root

Status in nfs-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  sub-directories initially only accessible by root

  Client: (K)Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - new install (not upgrade) fully up-to-date
  Server: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - fully up-to-date
  Client Package: nfs-common 1:1.2.8-9ubuntu12

  No access issues using Kubuntu 15.04 client in the past or currently.
  Server configuration unchanged.

  Attempting to access all subfolders of NFS mount fails for user.
  Primary folder is listable, subfolders are not, files in first level
  folder are accessable. If a subfolder is accessed by root user, it
  (and all nested subfolders and files) becomes accessible by users.
  After an unknown amount of time, subfolders revert back to
  inaccessible by user unless subfolder is kept "active" - like having
  it open in Dolphin. Permissions appear correct.
