I use pretty much the same method here pretty regularly, although I
don't use the -o switch in exportfs.  You might try without the -o
command line parameters.  Another suggestion is that NFS user may be
set as nobody.  I had to set my permissions on the optical so that
anyone could read and write. Thats all I can think of.  Otherwise you
are doing just what I do on a regular basis.

Steve.
