Server always gives permission denied

I'm trying to network two computers. I'm using Slackware 12.0. I have set up a loop back device for testing on my system. Here is a list of what I think are the relevant files.
hosts

Code:

# For loopbacking.
127.0.0.1               localhost
192.168.1.3             Veronica.home.local Veronica.

HOSTNAME

Code:

Veronica.home.local

exports

Code:

/mnt/backup/Media/Audio/Music \
192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(ro,root_squash,subtree_check)

hosts.deny

Code:

ALL : ALL

hosts.allow

Code:

ALL : 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0

When I try to mount on the host computer, I get this message

Code:

root@Veronica:/mnt# mount 192.168.1.3:/mnt/backup/Media/Audio/Music /mnt/test
mount: 192.168.1.3:/mnt/backup/Media/Audio/Music failed, reason given by server: Permission denied

So I can't even mount a loop back. What could be wrong?

And you verified that the daemons are up?

I got this to work by recompiling my kernel with nfs options enabled. The help menu in the kernel config says that you don't need to compile in nfs and nfsd if you use the daemons, but I guess that's wrong. Thanks for the help though.

Actually, it says that the server doesn’t need the module, but the client does. Since your machine is acting like a client in addition to being a server (when you try to mount through the lo interface), you do need the kernel-level code.

Oh, stupid me. At least it's working : )
