This is all rather confusing, especially if you're used to NFS version
2. You have two choices:
1. Specify a directory name. You can then mount this directory only
via NFS, even if it isn't a local mount point.
2. Specify a local mount point and -alldirs. Then you can NFS mount
any directory within that file system.
It looks to me as if you're trying to combine these two cases: you
specify only specific directories, which are not mount points, and
presumably their subdirectories, with the -alldirs option. I think
mountd is telling you that this won't work.
