I got the idea to mount an NFS-exported filesystem to the
localhost via loopback, but I couldn't get mountd to recognize any
combination of /etc/exports that contains "aries" or "localhost"
(aries is the name of my machine). I would get errors like this:
Aug 23 07:25:50 aries mountd[2630]: Gethostbyname failed
Aug 23 07:25:50 aries mountd[2630]: Bad exports list line /scratch aries,localhost
Aug 23 07:26:55 aries mountd[2631]: Gethostbyname failed
Aug 23 07:26:55 aries mountd[2631]: Bad exports list line /scratch -alldirs aries,localhost
Aug 23 07:28:17 aries mountd[2631]: Gethostbyname failed
Aug 23 07:28:17 aries mountd[2631]: Bad exports list line /scratch -alldirs aries,127.0.0.1
Shouldn't I be able to mount over the loopback interface?

Most definitely.
