This is a problem that results from bugs in mountd.  You will
need to apply the patchkit (preferably 0.2.1) and then recompile 
mountd.  

There is also a kernel patch which gets rid of some "access
denied" errors which occur when you try to access files over an
nfs link to a NFS server running 386BSD.  (I'll send you the
patch if you like.)

If you have any other hassles getting nfs running, please let me know.


Cheers,
Geoff.
