    You don't need this for an NFS client, but I suppose I can't hurt
either.

    This means existing-host does not have any NFS daemons registered
with the portmapper.  Make sure nfsd is running on the server... check
by issuing a "rpcinfo -p existing-host".  You should see something
like this:

% rpcinfo -p my-server
   program vers proto   port
    100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper
    100000    2   udp    111  portmapper
    100003    2   udp   2049  nfs
    100003    2   tcp   2049  nfs

    Try "nfsd -t -u" if just plain "nfsd" doesn't seem to work.
