I have similar problem.  All attempts to run rpcinfo to my local
rpcbind daemon result in 

"rpcinfo: can't contact rpcbind: : RPC: Authentication error; why =
Client credential too weak"

I'm running rpcbind with -lL and my hosts.all contains

	.whooppee.com LOCAL

(this lets everything in my local net connect to anything)

/p
