Is the portmap service running on the client machine?
/etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap status

Also after making the share, adding it to your exports file, did you restart NFS services on the server side?

I am having the same exact problem and am finding very little out there about it. Everything for me is running fine on the server and I can mount it via nfs from itself, but not from my other machine. Any ideas?

Thanks
