Yes, but I'm *not* exporting /. (I just checked my backups, and no such
export existed at the time I sent the original mail, nor was I importing
it on the client).

This export is prsumably automatically generated, and likely indicates
nothing more than that I am exporting from different subtrees off the
root (which I am: various subdirectories of /home, /usr, /trees,
/.transient, /.nfs, and /pkg are exported).
