But this is exactly the way we did it when we were using Linux for this
machine.  According to the sample exports file and the man page, this
should work.  I've never heard anything about only being able to export
mount points.  If it is in the exports file, it should work.  I also
tried just "/home -alldirs vorlon" and that didn't work either.
