We probably need a little more info. What does the mount command by itself tell you on both machines? Looking at disk space, mount points, etc. On your problem machine, copy the /etc/fstab to something like /etc/fstab.bak. Then try it with the exact same /etc/fstab on both boxes and see if that works. Speaking of which, I have seen sometimes the smallest spacing error cause problems with the parsing of certain config files. I have been known to do this exact thing on production machines with identical hardware when troubleshooting stuff like this.

I issue the command mount -t nfs 192.168.2.100:/shares/SimplePool/Netfolder/ /mnt/BU and it mounts without problem. On my other FC5 machine when I issue the command I get mount: 192.168.2.100:/shares/SimplePool/Netfolder/ failed, reason given by server: Permission denied I'm baffled why this works on the one but not the other.
