How do I change to NFS version 3 so that other UNIX variants may access my NFS share on my Fedora 17?

Cannot be problem with anonuid/anongid values? You have on F17 box
user and group with these UID/GID ? As default is there only "nobody"
user with UID=GID=65534, all other ID are lower.

Other "/etc/exports" option you may try is "nohide" - may help
when You have other FS mounted in exported NFS tree.

Next, You can inspect system logs (/var/log/messages on Fedora)
on both boxes. And finally capture and analyze traffic with wireshark
network packet sniffer.
