Don't list the client in fstab.  You should have only one line 
specifying any given mount point.  (That is, the second field should be 
unique)

Well, then, that's what you should have said in /etc/fstab:

box48:/home	/mnt/home	nfs	users	0 0

With that in /etc/fstab, a user should be able to mount the directory by 
"mount /mnt/home" and unmount with "umount /mnt/home".
