I have this problem on Natty. On most boots, nfs shares never mount unless I do it manually.

Based on the error messages produced when mountall runs, it looks like the problem is that nfs mounting is done by /etc/init/mountall-net.conf, which runs on net-device-up, but would need to run after statd is fully up and running in order to reliably mount nfs.

I see an upstart script called statd-mounting.conf that might be useful here. Oddly, it doesn't seem to be referenced by any other upstart scripts.
