I'm a casual NFS user, but, FWIW, I also get the same error using
this format in /etc/exports. I don't get it with something like

/mnt/storage         10.1.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,sync,mp)

and the same format for portmap: and mountd: in /etc/hosts.allow

I just recently got NFS working, basically by trial and error, so 
I'm not sure exactly what is required.
