That exports /xtra/scuz/src to two machines: one called 192.168.2.100,
and one called (rw,no_root_squash). So, there must be no space.

This is a very, very frequent mistake. It would be nice if you could
take the time to file a bug report and ask for clearly pointing this
out in the /etc/exports file comments, the exports(5) man page, and
also that it produces something useful in the log files.
