well i can tell you for sure its not your kernel versions because
ive had nfs running between three different redhat linux machines
with very different kernel version number and never had a problem
like the one you describe above most likely what you do have is a
tcpwrapper problem it would help if you were to post the contents
of your /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files and then maybe
we can see what the problem is i would guess that you need to add
entries for your portmapper and rpc mount daemons hope that helps
