I'm getting the following errors when trying to mount volumes via NFS
between to FBSD 6.1-STABLE machines:

Aug 29 14:20:41 host mountd[1587]: can't export /usr
Aug 29 14:20:41 host mountd[1587]: bad exports list line /usr -ro -maproot
Aug 29 14:20:41 host mountd[1587]: can't export /var
Aug 29 14:20:41 host mountd[1587]: bad exports list line /var -ro -maproot
Aug 29 14:20:41 host mountd[1587]: can't export /home
Aug 29 14:20:41 host mountd[1587]: bad exports list line /home -ro -maproot
Aug 29 14:20:44 host mountd[1587]: mount request denied from 192.x.x.x

I googled on that error and the only thing I could find was if there were
simlinks on the exports file, which there isn't...I built the server with
the following file systems:

/
/usr
/var
/home

Note that there is no error for the root volume.../usr and /var will
actually mount fine, despite the errors, but /home will not...I keep
getting a "permission denied" error.

Ideas? Thanks.
