I haven't heard much about SFS; Is this basically NFS for VM?  Just to
eliminate some unknowns, try:

# service iptables stop
# setenforce 0

and retry the mount.  This will stop the firewall (iptables) and
temporarily disable SELinux.  It also may be helpful to look at a
network trace (tcpdump) of the NFS traffic.  I can shoot you a note
offline on how to set this up if the above doesn't work for you.
