You should have way more in rpcinfo (like nfs!). So are there errors or 
anything at the command line with (last email I said nfsd, but it's just 
nfs):
# service nfs start

I did a quick Goolgle, and there are several threads about this error, 
although I didn't see anything explaining/resolving it. Might be worth some 
'quality time'.

What does your /etc/exports file look like?
What does 'exportfs -v' show? (if service nfs start works)
