Don't have the trailing "/" on the export. Just use "/home/mydir".

All you need is "exportfs -ar". You don't have to restart the service.

The mount command should be:
mount fedoraserver:/home/mydir /home/jonh/server-mydir
Let the system figure out what the options are. It'll negotiate a
better default set than you're specifying (why would you want NFS V2
anyway?). I suspect the problem is the trailing "/" on the export on
the Fedora server.
