Oddly enough, I have that same problem earlier today.

Basically, make sure that you account for the reverse of each domain.
Also, in the exportfs file, the server name you are putting in should be
the client or the server that is going to mount the file system on (in
this, A). Like so:

On server A -
/backup
-rw=10.0.81.115:serverb.net,anon=0,root=10.0.81.115:serverb.net,access=10.0.
81.115:serverb.net

On server B -

mount servera:/backup /mnt/backup (it will assume that it is a remote
server with that format).
