The /var/log/messages files says:

mountd[41]: Not root dir
mountd[41]: Bad exports list line /opt/nc -alldirs

Without the "-alldirs" the directory mounts fine.  I'm 
trying to boot a network computer off of it and it wants to 
mount a different directory along the structure, which is
what "-alldirs" is supposed to allow.  However, it looks
like it's not really implemented (or I'm an idiot - which
is possible).
