NFS Mounting under FC3

Yipes! 

I have recently bitten the bullet and upgraded my servers to FC3.
Somewhere along the way, I am no longer able to mount my exports. Not
even on the same server. This is the message I always get:

mount: saturne:/tmp failed, reason given by server: Permission denied

I have checked and checked again /etc/exports, and all are fine, set up
for my LAN's ip/mask of 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.128

I have checked the /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files, and they
are both void of entries (though I did tried adding client ips to the
hosts.allow to no avail.)

I've executed the command "exportfs -ra" many times...

I have rebuilt the kernel several times thinking I left something out,
and have tried kernels that mount worked just fine prior to the upgrade.
That's not the issue at all.

I've even tried strace on rpc.mountd -- nothing revealing there either.

Here's the rpcinfo on the server I'm trying to mount:

    100005    1   tcp    879  mountd
    100005    2   udp    876  mountd
    100005    2   tcp    879  mountd
    100005    3   udp    876  mountd
    100005    3   tcp    879  mountd

File permissions on the directories are OK -- checked those as well.
Even tried exporting /tmp just to be sure. Notta.

All I keep getting is the "Permission Denied" message.

And yes, I do have the "no_root_squash" attribute in the entries
of /etc/exports (and I'm mounting from root on the client).

This seems to be an issue on every machine now.

I know I must be missing something really stupidly simple somewhere. I'm
not using NIS. All I did was upgrade from FC2 to FC3 Shame on me! :-)
I've even yummed in the latest updates. No workie.

So, <sucking in my hubris>, HELP!
