Next question: anything odd about the mount point you're trying to 
export and mount?  NFS can give an inscrutable error like "EACCESS" if 
you try to export and mount a directory that includes another mounted 
share.  I tried to NFS export a loopback mounted ISO image a while back 
(ISO on one box but wanted to work with it on another box and didn't 
want to make a copy).  NFS said "No."

Other than the above, I'm kind of mystified.  Sorry.

Cheers,
Dave
