I'd guess from the error that you have portmap enabled. Make sure that portmap, mountd, and nfsd are running on the server. The client needs portmap and nfsiod. You most likely need to HUP mountd, which should be done after changing the /etc/exports file. A 'showmount -e' is helpful to check. Or it may be that portmap needs a HUP if it isn't aware of mountd. Been a while. Just curious why you are exporting the root, considering the security (or lack of) of that.
