Just in case anyone was curious about the outcome or runs into a 
similar problem, firewall was fine, but when I rebooted the client
machine, it hung when trying to shut down the automounter, so I had
to do a hard reset... After reboot of both machines, all works fine....

Why I didn't try that before is beyond me..

Thanks for your help.
