David -

Does the test you mention in this comment refer to whether the NFS server
performs an export function (in addition to writing to /etc/exports)?

I have been reading up on this subject and it appears that exports may not
instantly reach all of the clients on a network, perhaps not surprising given
how machines configure themselves on boot-up, network registration and log-in,
permissions, off-line considerations, etc.  Perhaps it takes at least one
re-boot on all all devices before the exports in the server's /etc/exports list
reaches all of the clients.
