a wild guess but you are not using the kernel nfsd package are you?

Description: User space NFS server.
This package contains all necessary programs to make your Linux machine
act
as an NFS server, being an NFS daemon (rpc.nfsd), a mount daemon
(rpc.mountd).
.
Unlike other NFS daemons, this NFS server runs entirely in user space.
This
makes it a tad slower than other NFS implementations, and also
introduces
some awkwardnesses in the semantics (for instance, moving a file to a
different directory will render its file handle invalid).

Description: Kernel NFS server support
Use this package if you have a fairly recent kernel (2.2.13 or better)
and you want to use the kernel-mode NFS server. The user-mode NFS
server in the "nfs-server" package is slower but more featureful and
easier to debug than the kernel-mode server.
.
Upstream: SourceForge project "nfs", CVS module nfs-utils.
one thing is you could be attempting to run the kernel mode nfs
server without having kernel support compiled in (or loaded via
module if its capable of being loaded via modules). run
dpkg -l | grep nfs to see which you have ..
my personal experience is that the user space nfs is much more
reliable then the kernel space(only have used the kernel space
on prebuild redhat boxes though) kernel space servers are great
if you never have to reconfigure but i've found every single time
i tried to reconfigure a kernel nfsd(changing /etc/exports) required
a reboot for knfsd to restart properly. maybe it's a problem
specific to redhat, im not sure as any system i build always gets
the userspace nfs.
