Thanks to all who responded with help for my NFS question.  The consensus seems
to be that I need to create a /etc/exports file as per the man page for
exports.

While this did help a little (no more "permission denied" but now "server
timeout") only a few people pointed out that I could NOT use "dump" on an
NFS-mounted filesystem.

I think that I will end up using "tar" for my purpose (as suggested by Chris
Torek), w/o doing the NFS mounting.

	Thanks again to all that answered.
