Glad that it worked. Also, according to the exports(5) manpage, the -alldirs
flag would have exported all of /var, which is not what you wanted:
"...the -alldirs flag; this form allows the host(s) to mount
at any point within the filesystem..."
Which is not what you wanted. The best solution might be to (in the future)
make /var/spool/pcnfs it's own partition and then export that with -alldirs. I
looked through the mountd source very briefly but didn't see why the -alldirs
option made a difference. Hmm.
