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.
