Remember, I *can* mount the share in the gui, I don't use the console to
mount the share.  
With Finder as the active application, I choose Go/Connect to Server, and
select - nfs://moe/backup.
Works like a charm.  I can read, write, navigate up or down.
It's just that 'moe' isn't visible in the Network pane of Finder.
