Thanks, I've changed my exports line to:

/usr -alldirs -maproot=0 -network 123.456.789.123

and this loads ok. showmount -e now gives:

/usr  123.456.789.123

however I am still getting permision denied when I try
to mount it from the client.

I am trying to mount it as root. Is this a permissions
error? I've tried adding the client to the hosts.equiv
file but that does not seem to make any difference.

Any more clues?

Gavin
