.nfs* files are unlinked files kept around by the NFS service for
still-accessed unlinked files (because NFS is stateless - the kernel "open
count" stuff won't do this, because there's no "open" on the server end).

If you're using rsync, just ignore the .nfs* files:
--exclude=.nfs\*
Very easy and effective.
