I believe it is v3 on the server. If I specify nfs4 as the filesystem 
type, then I get:

mount.nfs4: mounting 192.168.1.2://home/photos/ failed, reason given by 
server: No such file or directory

The directory exists, so I guess it must not be exported that way.

Here's the relevant portion of /etc/fstab on the client:

192.168.1.2://home/rikiheck/files     /home/rikiheck/files nfs 
auto,nouser,rw,dev,nosuid,exec,_netdev 0 0
192.168.1.2://multi/                  /mnt/mail/multi      nfs 
auto,nouser,rw,dev,nosuid,noexec,_netdev 0 0
192.168.1.2://home/photos             /mnt/mail/photos     nfs 
auto,nouser,rw,dev,nosuid,noexec,_netdev 0 0
