Just do (as root):

touch /var/db/mountdtab

And the next time you boot the error will have magically
vanished. mountd uses the file to record a list of which systems have
nfs mounted which partitions. It's only a warning, as NFS & mountd are
stateless, and don't particularly care who has mounted what in the
past. The file is only really there for the admins to looks at.
