adding principals in S4 to controller account

I am starting to look at NFS4 with krb5 authentication. I need to add an
nfs/ principal to the domain controller (S4) account. I am doing the
following:

/usr/local/samba/sbin/samba-tool spn add nfs/FILESERVER_FQDN
FILESERVER_HOST$

/root/samba-master/source4/scripting/bin/ktpass.sh --out
/etc/krb5.keytab --princ nfs/FILESERVER_FQDN --path-to-ldbsearch
/usr/local/samba/bin/ --pass --pass RANDOMPASSWORD

/root/samba-master/source4/scripting/bin/ktpass.sh --out
/etc/krb5.keytab --princ nfs/FILESERVER_FQDN --path-to-ldbsearch
/usr/local/samba/bin/ --pass --pass RANDOMPASSWORD --enc aes128-cts

/root/samba-master/source4/scripting/bin/ktpass.sh --out
/etc/krb5.keytab --princ nfs/FILESERVER_FQDN --path-to-ldbsearch
/usr/local/samba/bin/ --pass --pass RANDOMPASSWORD --enc aes256-cts


This does not seem to work. rpc.gssd on the client sets up
/tmp/krb5cc_machine_DOMAIN, but then complains about not being able to
create the krb5 context.

I am figuring that maybe my way of adding the nfs principal is the wrong
way.

Recap: I need to add an nfs/ principal to the machine account for the
S4/NFS server. I seem to be doing it wrong.

Thank you for any help,
