Looking good so far. Did you restart nfs-kernel-server after editing
/etc/exports ? Have you checked that portmap & mountd are running on the
server & the client?  Does /var/log/syslog on the server show anything
interesting?

... and now for the random one ...

Do you run bind on the same machine as your nfs server? This has a port
conflict somewhere with portmap, so ensure portmap starts before bind.
