[mythtv-users] Mounting DVDs via NFS problem

Hello all,

Am trying to mount a DVD drive via NFS and am having problems.  For 
note, 192.168.1.2 (hostname - destiny) is the client and 192.168.1.15 
(hostname - mythtv) is the server.

I have this in my /etc/exports:

/media/cdrom0 192.168.1.2(ro,sync)

and 192.168.1.2 is in the /etc/hosts.allow.

If the DVD is not mounted, it works perfectly fine:

destiny:/mnt# mount mythtv:/media/cdrom0 /mnt/mythtv
destiny:/mnt# df
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
<snip>
mythtv:/media/cdrom0   1829192   1547128    184472  90% /mnt/mythtv
destiny:/mnt#

If I unmount the above, and then mount the DVD on mythtv:

mythtv:/home/piers# mount /cdrom
mythtv:/home/piers#

and try again on destiny, I get:

destiny:/# mount mythtv:/media/cdrom0 /mnt/mythtv
mount: mythtv:/media/cdrom0 failed, reason given by server: Permission 
denied
destiny:/#

and in the logs, I get:

Jan 21 21:57:08 localhost kernel: UDF-fs INFO UDF 0.9.8.1 (2004/29/09) 
Mounting volume 'FIREFLY_D3', timestamp 2003/09/08 20:08 (1000)
Jan 21 21:57:39 localhost rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from 
destiny.10sca.intranet:923 for /media/cdrom0 (/media/cdrom0)
Jan 21 21:57:39 localhost rpc.mountd: getfh failed: Operation not permitted

I've googled for a long time with the last message but I can't find any 
help anywhere.

I've tried this on my 2 Macs but had the exact same problem:

Jan 21 20:34:55 localhost rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from 
ukyo.10sca.intranet:982 for /media/cdrom0 (/media/cdrom0)
Jan 21 20:34:55 localhost rpc.mountd: getfh failed: Operation not permitted
Jan 21 21:29:59 localhost rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from 
akane.10sca.intranet:972 for /media/cdrom0 (/media/cdrom0)
Jan 21 21:29:59 localhost rpc.mountd: getfh failed: Operation not permitted

I'm hoping you guys can tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks very much in advance!

Cheers - Piers
