No. It was my own config problem that unexported the file systems, I guess.

No problem here. The export I have in /etc/exports was still there.

As I said above, the deletion of the cluster-administered exports was 
probably my fault, as I had gotten a line from an early config file back 
into my new one. This line tried to start the nfs startup script on a 
system that already had nfs running. I guess this results in 'exportfs 
-r' after the cluster has exported, and suddenly the list is back to 
just the contents of /etc/exports.

What I still think may be a bug is that of my 9 exports in cluster.conf 
only 5 get checked regularly through calls to "nfsclient.sh status", and 
thus only those 5 got reexported after they got deleted. I would never 
have seen this problem without messing up myself in the first place :-/
