You do have NFS relevant options enabled in kernel, don't you? :)

Assuming that you want to have rw access to the NFS share and that
you're exporting the $HOME of user 'nathan' and 'nathan' is the owner
of the files, I would check the following:

On server:
1. Options
  nfs_server_enable="YES"
  nfs_reserved_port_only="YES"
are set in /etc/rc.conf

2. You can see portmap, mountd, nfsd and rpc.statd processes running.

3. You might want to play with -maproot and -mapall in /etc/exports. I
guess in your case it might be useful to set -maproot=nathan


On client:
1. Options
  nfs_reserved_port_only="YES"
  nfs_client_enable="YES"
are set /etc/rc.conf

2. You can see nfsiod process running.

I would suggest rebooting both client and server after making all the
changes.
