I'll try to have something out by early next week.

The problem is that the server-side rpc code is checking *all* incoming
auth_unix and auth_null requests (whether for nfsd or for some other
service) against the exports table.  So as a temporary workaround, lockd
will work if the client lists the server in the exports file.  Or
something like

echo nfsd server.ip.address.here 0x7FFFFFFF server.name.here \
	>/proc/net/rpc/auth.unix.ip/content

may also work, though the entry you add to the auth.unix.ip cache by
doing this may end up getting purged next time you run exportfs.
