I checked the man pages, but I'm having a bit of trouble getting
this to work:

If one has 2 hosts, host1 and host2, and wants to do the following:

mount host1:/usr/blah as host2:/blah

Without any other directory under host1:/usr being mounted...Is this
possible?  I tried playing with the "-access" and "-alldirs" switches
in the server machine's /etc/exports file with no success.  When trying 
to mount the directory I get "permission denied" on the client machine.

I have no problems when serving an entire file system, but it would
be very inconvenient at this time to split the directory off the /usr
filesystem.

Any hints or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  :-)

Regards,

Chris
