What does your /etc/fstab look like?  I.e. are all of the exported 
directories mount points?  If not, you may want to consider exporting the 
mount point with the `-alldirs' option...

For example:

(from /etc/fstab)
/dev/sd1g       /misc                   ufs     rw              1 2

(from /etc/exports)
/misc           -maproot=root -alldirs ovation.sj.xenotropic.com

This allows my sun 3/50 to mount /misc/sun3/ov/root, /misc/sun3/ov/swap, 
and /misc/sun3/usr.
