I'm afraid I have no experience with NFS under Linux, but if 
it's anything like other implementations (SunOS, Solaris) - you 
will need to run something to get the NFS daemon to pick up your 
changes to /etc/exports - typically something like 'exportfs -a'.

'exportfs' will show what's presently exported (available to be 
mounted remotely).  Simply editing /etc/exports won't change 
this.

Quite likely to be a red herring - there are a few issues 
which might cause this which have nothing to do with NFS.

best of luck,
