  a private emailer tells me that what's causing the problem above is
deselecting the NFSv1 line from /etc/sysconfig/nfs.  apparently, that
causes the problem so you should try this:

#MOUNTD_NFS_V1="no"
MOUNTD_NFS_V2="no"
MOUNTD_NFS_V3="no"

weirdly, that fixes that last problem.  why should that be?
