What happens if you do the following:

1. edit your /etc/exports file and export your filesystem to localhost, eg:

	/opt/pkgsrc -maproot=root 127.0.0.1

2. restart mountd '/etc/rc.d/mountd restart'

3. check exported filesystems, eg:

	# showmount -e
	Exports list on localhost:
	/opt/pkgsrc                        127.0.0.1 

Also as you were saying you were trying to export a partition mounted
under /hold. What happens if you try to export a directory on a different
filesystem?
