I'm looking at the FreeBSD-current mountd.c right now, and I see the 
following snippet of code:

[ . . . ]
                /*
                 * Get the real pathname and make sure it is a directory
                 * or a regular file if the -r option was specified
                 * and it exists.
                 */
                if (realpath(rpcpath, dirpath) == 0 ||
                    stat(dirpath, &stb) < 0 ||
                    (!S_ISDIR(stb.st_mode) &&
                     (dir_only || !S_ISREG(stb.st_mode))) ||
[ . . . ]

Don't know if this is true in 2.1, but perhaps try passing the `-r' flag 
to mountd when it's started ...

Seems rather silly to require passing that flag to mountd to get it to 
export files, but whatever...
