selinux stops nfs?

    Hello all,
            I am trying to persuade an F9 box to export an filesystem
with nfs. It seems to be unwilling:

Oct 27 10:49:41 RAL-161-1-14 rpcbind: rpcbind terminating on signal.
Restart with "rpcbind -w"
Oct 27 10:49:41 RAL-161-1-14 setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing the
rpcbind from using potentially mislabeled files
(/home/murray/.xsession-errors). For complete SELinux messages. run
sealert -l 14ad5007-8011-4b44-91e9-a4d0932e2f5e
Oct 27 10:49:42 RAL-161-1-14 mountd[20260]: Caught signal 15,
un-registering and exiting.
Oct 27 10:49:42 RAL-161-1-14 kernel: nfsd: last server has exited

Now SElinux is in permissive mode. But the error claims that 

SELinux is preventing the rpcbind from using potentially mislabeled
files
(/home/murray/.xsession-errors).

Now this seems odd - this file is not one I am trying to export. And I
have definitely got 'permissive' set. But I do the following anyway:

restorecon -v '/home/murray/.xsession-errors'

And restarting nfs gives the same error all over again.

   What am I doing wrong?
        Thank you,
         Bill
