Have you had a chance to look at this, yet?

Subject: [PATCH] nfs-utils-1.0.6 permission denied on mount after 'exportfs -u'
Date: Thu, 26 Aug 2004 15:50:49 -0700
Hi Neil,
There is a problem with rpc.mountd after doing an 'exportfs -u' such as
in the following:
[server]# exportfs *:/foo
[client]# mount server:/foo /mnt
[client]# umount /mnt
[server]# exportfs -u *:/foo
[server]# exportfs client:/foo
[client]# mount server:/foo /mnt
mount: server:/foo failed, reason given by server: Permission denied
In the above situation, the static my_client doesn't get cleared as a
result of the unexporting. Since the client address is the same in both
mount requests it won't perform a new lookup and will continue to use
the previous hostname, i.e. "*". Unfortunately, the list of clients in
the exportlist no longer contains "*" for a hostname (only contains the
hostname "client") and will return a NULL pointer with a not_exported
error.
