Yes, on the server, /usr is indeed a mount point.

Things used to work with /etc/exports having

	/usr/home	-maproot=root
	/usr/src	-maproot=root
	.
	.
	.

and the clients having 

	host:/usr/home	/usr/home	nfs	rw

in /etc/fstab

But today they stopped working when the server was rebooted.  I had also
rebooted the clients in hopes that that would fix things, but it didn't
help.

So, I replaced the server's /etc/export with just

	/home	-maproot=root -alldirs

and now it is working again!  I just don't understand why!  :)
