This drove me berserk too the first time I encountered it :)

What mountd is trying to tell you is that you need to export
the root of the filesystem, and then _mount_ the subtree
you really want: i.e...

/etc/exports
	/usr	-alldirs -maproot=0 -network 123.123.123.0

on the client:

mount nfsservername:/usr/subtree1/subtree2/finalsubtreeIreallyWanted


Hope this makes sense...
