I mounted an nfs in the GUI without issue. This is a nfs-iso share that I use on other vm-plattforms as well.

However, the GUI doesn't match the current iso-files. When I check shell, the content of /mnt/pve/iso is correct. I have tried to remove both /mnt/pve/iso and the ISO from the WebGUI. Verified that /mnt/pve/iso is gone and the GUI is empty. Then I mount from GUI and the /mnt/pve/iso is back again (correct files), but the iso-list in the GUI is not the same.

What is going on? The Web GUI is correctly mounting the iso at shell/console-level/mount, but the display is cached or old.
 
ISO files are written to template/iso
PVE is looking for ISO/IMG files in /mnt/pve/iso/template/iso in your case

If you don't wish to move the ISO files then you could create a symbolic link to the root of the NFS mount

umount the NFS share

From the NFS server change directory to NFS export

cd template
rm -r iso
ln -s ../ iso

remount the NFS share on proxmox
