Problems getting NFS over SSH to work

[Julius Schwartzenberg <julius@zgod.cjb.net>]

Hi,
I've got a server & client on a campus network on which it is easy to 
'overtake' another computer by spoofing it's MAC address. Since I would 
like to access the server easily from my workstation, I thought NFS over 
SSH would be a good solution.
The server uses Slackware 10.1, the workstation uses Slackware 10.0 with 
some updates including kernel 2.6.9.
I installed UNFS3 version 0.9.12 on the server and I followed the exact 
instructions from the NFS how-to on how to set up the tunnel over SSH. 
When I run the mount command on my client, I get the following error 
message though:
mount: RPC: Cannot receive; errno = Connection refused (translated from 
dutch)
Everything works fine when I try to do the mount on the server itself 
though, so that seems to be working.
My /etc/exports file has this:
/         localhost(rw)

rpcinfo -p gives me on the server:
    program vers proto   port
     100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper
     100000    2   udp    111  portmapper
     100003    3   udp   2049  nfs
     100003    3   tcp   2049  nfs
     100005    1   udp  32767  mountd
     100005    3   udp  32767  mountd
     100005    1   tcp  32767  mountd
     100005    3   tcp  32767  mountd

Is there any way I can see what is going on (and what might be going 
wrong) with the SSH tunnel?
Thanks in advance,
Julius
