This has nothing to do with the master... somehow you're having
something really odd happening with the local mounts. The issue here is
that it at least thinks that /home/wsarka is /export/home/wsarka on the
local machine, and it looks like it's not finding it (probably because
it isn't local, eh?)
I am guessing that your have enabled hostname resolution via nis in
/etc/nsswitch.conf (a bad idea, IMO, I recommend "hosts: files dns") and
that the hostname map on your Linux master is screwed up.
