I saw this last week during my exploits, it wasn't a 
file permission.  Check the /etc/exports, etc/hosts.deny files.
Also make sure your running portmap and all of the nfs stuff.

The NFS-Howto does show you all of this but I made the same mistake also,
I just can't remember the exact fix.  If your still having problems send
me:
	/etc/exports
	/etc/hosts.allow
	/etc/hosts.deny
	and a dump of ps ax from both machines.

You are relieved of command. You may file a formal protest with Star 
Fleet Command assuming we survive to reach a star base.
