I have the following exports file but when the machine boots up it says:

Dec 5 11:28:59 adm4 mountd[83]: 
Bad exports list line /usr/idea-nc -alldirs 130.85.150.10

Here is the entire file:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#The following examples export /usr to 3 machines named after ducks,
#/home and all directories under it to machines named after dead rock stars
#and, finally, /a to 2 privileged machines allowed to write on it as root.
#/usr                huey louie dewie
#/home   -alldirs    janice jimmy frank
#/a      -maproot=0  bill albert
#
# You should replace these lines with your actual exported filesystems.
/usr/idea-nc	-alldirs	130.85.150.10


After that didn't work I even went so far as to include every 
directory/file I wanted to export from that tree.  It than gave me errors 
on directories only, but all the individual files export.  This seems 
strange because I thought it would be the exact opposite.

It does say Can't change attributes for <directory name> when mountd runs.

I would appreciate any help you can offer, if you could possibly send it 
to e-mail to it would make things easier but that isn't absolutely 
neccessary.  

Thanks,
