What OS is 3jane running?  That looks like a reasonable NetBSD exports
line, but it has to be appropriate to *3jane's* mountd.

However, if /mnt/ashpool/root and its etc/ subdir have their world
execute bits, and init exists and is at least 111 in said etc/ subdir,
the options shouldn't matter.  What do you get if you run, on 3jane,
"ls -ld /mnt/ashpool/root /mnt/ashpool/root/etc /mnt/ashpool/root/etc/init"?
