Joseph,
In case you still have not gotten where you want to be.
An assumption I made in my earlier reply was that the problem was in the 
options, not necessarily in other portions of the system.


A common problem with today's distributions is that we try to make them 
secure, i.e., add firewalls and do random port allocations, all of which is 
good, but it means things are not as simple as they once were (in soooo many 
ways).
Things to think about:
1) does
`mount -orw,hard,intr 10.0.0.4:/Music /mnt`
work?
2) does (1) work if you `service iptables stop` on the server?
3) does (1) work if you `service iptables stop` on the client?
4) does (1) work if you `service iptables stop` on the both server & client?

if you have to resort to (2), (3) or (4) then you need to look at how to 
configure NFS to work with the firewall(s).
