The error message is fairly explicit: the portmapper program
(a.k.a. "/sbin/portmap") on your server appears not to be accessible
to this client.

Is portmap not running on the server, or is there anything in
/etc/hosts.deny or in /etc/sysconfig/ipchains for instance that might
be blocking access to that client?

Cheers,
  Trond
