I have the same experience as Marc Wilson described earlier, although the
nfs-kernel-server/testing package doesn't work regardless of client
version. There are bug reports to this effect. My solution was to
downgrade to stable and hold it as long as testing is messed.
To see if your problem is the same as mine, try restarting NFS on the
server, mount one share and then one more. If the first succeeds and any
subsequent mounts fail, that's what I had.
Back to work.
