You've made sure that the FreeBSD 2.0R test machine's hostname and 
ip address are listed in your DNS and/or the ISC's /etc/hosts file
and all that?  And you don't have your FreeBSD machines hostname listed
on the 127.0.0.1 line *AND* the "normal" line in /etc/hosts?
I have a FreeBSD 2.0R mounting off of a NetBSD 1.0 machine and I've
never seen it.  Sounds to me like one of your machine sis confused about
who it is or who the other machine is.
Or, it is a bug that is only triggered talking to the older ISC code.
