Try:
/usr/www /home -maproot=root 131.215.86.106

IIRC, -alldirs only works for the root of a filesystem.
The export mechanism is the only thing I liked better in Linux | SunOS | IRIX.
I had to patch mountd to do the following:
/var/spool/pcnfs -alldirs
when /var/spool/pcnfs is in the same filesystem as / :-(
