iirc the kernel space NFS server is not compatible with anything but
linux clients, i might have this wrong/backwords though...

linux's implementation really sucks unfortunatly, nfs.sourceforge.net
(iirc) may be of some assistence, there are NFS patchs available to

yup, looks like OSX wants to use NFSv3, linux does not support that.
maybe you can ask OSX to use NFSv2 instead?

or try the userspace NFS, but it sucks too for different reasons.. (no
