There's a typo, rsize two times. (Possibly unimportant here)
But maybe you have a different kind of problem: When I do not give the
rsize and wsize options, I can mount pseudo-successfully, can ls , but not
look into the files. You cannot mount.
BTW: I can mount from a linux/Intel box and an old clunky HP workstation.
If florence is a sun that talks NFS3, maybe you should try another server?
