The important hint I finally found after searching for hours:

Thanks to the guy who wrote it!

The key is that
* I'm exporting more than one different (sub-)directories on the same filesystem
* For some reason it gets confused with the uuid/fsid; Can't find the page 
where I found that anymore :-(
* the actual device the exported filesystem resides on is /dev/md127 and not 
/dev/md0 as I originally wanted. Since I did not regard the number, I ignored 
this fact, but I also found hints that this might cause the problem of the 
previous point. 

The suggested solution was to add a *unique* fsid=xx entry to the exports file 
for each directory exported, so that it looks like:

/etc/exports:
/datadisk/music 192.168.1.0/24(rw,no_subtree_check,fsid=1)
/datadisk/video         192.168.1.0/24(rw,no_subtree_check,fsid=2)
/datadisk/backup        192.168.1.0/24(ro,no_subtree_check,fsid=3)
...

If the same fsid is used more than once then the first directory with this fsid 
will be mounted! So using *different* fsids for each exported directory is 
essential!!!

So, my NFS works now as it should! 

Thanks to all who spent a thought on it!

Alex
