I'll throw out this suggestion since I've sometimes got caught:
Do you have a firewall running on either box that is trapping the
RPC/NFS/whatever packets or connection attempts?
What about /etc/host.allow:

# /etc/hosts.allow: list of hosts that are allowed to access the system.

# Example: ALL: LOCAL @some_netgroup
# ALL: .foobar.edu EXCEPT terminalserver.foobar.edu

# If you're going to protect the portmapper use the name "portmap" for the

# and /usr/doc/portmap/portmapper.txt.gz for further information.

ALL: 192.168.
ALL: 127.0.0.1
portmap: 192.168.
statd: 192.168.
