Replying to my own post for the archive.

It turned out that for whatever reason rpcinfo was not reporting out nfs. 
I suspect I probably caused rpcbind to restart at some point without 
restarting nfsd.

After rebooting the box rpcinfo did report out.

The reason the automount on the client machine worked was that it didn't 
care about rpc issue. It just assumed the port was there and used it.
