You need to "un-export" /cdrom again :
1) I.e. remove it (or comment it out) from /etc/exports and

2) /etc/init.d/nfs-server reload
    (this bit is from my volatile memory, apply salt as needed)

(It may also be different depending on whether you're using the
kernel-space or user-space nfs server; I'm not sure about the
differences)
