Can you do the NFS mount from any other machine on your network?

# mkdir /mnt/fc3
# mount coyote.coyote.den:/usr/dlds-misc/FC3 /mnt/fc3

Do you get any error messages?

On coyote.coyote.den, what are the file and directory permissions?

# ls -ld / /usr /usr/dlds-misc /usr/dlds-misc/FC3 /usr/dlds-misc/FC3/*
