Huh! And why would you want to nfs mount an nfs share from the machine to itself. This seems rather lame to me. And maybe also to the programmers that wrote nfs which is why it doesn't work. Even on M$ this would be a rather lame thing to do.
Lame or not, it offers a way to verify that NFS is working - if it can't see itself, how can it expect other computers to see it?
The showmount command will show what's being exported.
