Subject: NFS: Why /usr can mount but not /var?

in my /etc/exports file, i put in 2 lines to test out nfs between two freebsd
boxes.  they are:

/usr -alldirs
/var -alldirs


when i telnet to my other freebsd box and type: mount host:/usr /usr1, i'm
able to mount my "host"'s /usr as /usr1 on my box.  Now when I replace the
usr's and put in var's, I cannot mount /var off of my remote host.  Anybody
know why?  It's the same line as /usr, but I get permission denieds.

TIA.

Elya.
