One thing that helped (in 9.x as well)
 was to put the  "insecure"  option on the share in /etc/exports.

Apple explain how not having  "insecure"
 doesn't actually make you any more secure,
 and I rather agree with them.

If you get complaints about "Service not registered"
 then you need to start portmap.

If putting a tail on  /var/log/messages
 doesn't reveal any activity, then it's probably firewall settings.

No matter how much you pay for software,
 you always get less than you hoped.
Unless you pay nothing, then you get more.
