try using something like this in your /etc/exports file if you have a
later version of opensuse say 11.0 or later. I think the critical item
is fsid=0. You will need to restart your nfs dameon once you do the
modification.

/export *(fsid=0,rw,root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check)
/export/home0 *(rw,root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check)
