Hi Trond,

sorry for the late response, but as usual I was busy with my main work.

It seems I was chasing a phantom *hrmmph*. 
After you told me, it might be a bug in "mount", I immedeately checked the 
util-linux mount source and didn't find anything wrong. 
Today I tried again finding the source of the problem, but now I don't see a 
problem at all. Mounting on different ports just works fine, even with the 
same nfsversion.
I really have no idea why it didn't work all the time, but now suddenly works.

Sorry for wasting your time,
	Bernd
