Wim, you already had those exported directories in the kernel (the ones that you have now deleted i.e. /home/mrtg/scripts/billings). You put this info into the kernel with your command, "exportfs" or they were entered during a bootup, if they existed in the exports file. This info about that directory is in the kernel, and when the kernel trys to unexport the directory, it now no longer exists on your system. The kernel is perplexed. The best solution here is to get your "/etc/exports" the way you want it, making sure that all the directories for exporting currently exist on your system, and flush your kernel out by doing a reboot. As far as the invalid argument error, I think I know what is happening but I would like you to try the aforementioned method, and let me know what your results are looking like. -- J.
