OK, this is Colin (FreeBSD 5.3 -> 5.3) I'm glad Joachim got his issues resolved by mounting as root. I wish I could do the same :-) I don't have nfs_server_enable="YES" on the "client" machine, only because...well...it's the client machine. No "howto" I've read (so far) has advocated doing that as a client machine requirment - unless that is - you're also exporting a share in the other direction. That said though, it's a trivial matter to try out and see if it makes a difference. I can't see why it might, but hey it's *well* worth the small amount of time necessary to start stuff up.
