Good guess Jan,

I came across this as I was reading about what could be causing my
ailments.  I have already added 'insecure' to the options in nfsd.conf
on the server which should start it on a port above 1024 (makes me think
that I should actually check this).  This did not change anything.  I
can test the OSX 10.4 vs. FreeBSD vs. Linux hypothesis when I get home
tonight as I have all three systems ready to go.
