I'm guessing the problem you are experiencing actually has to do with the port you are connecting on. NFS mounts can be opened on privileged ports ( < 1024 ) or non privileged ports ( > 1024). My guess is that you have one machine that is running by default on privileged ports, and the other isn't. There is an option that you can put in the fstab something like allow_unprivilege or something. You'll have to figure that part out because I haven't used NFS is quite a while and don't remember the exact file or option to use.
