I do it (mount / directories) all the time and it works perfectly.

Did you check that the nfsd is running on the server (exporter)
side ? In RedHat (since 7.2 I think) it is off by default.

Do /etc/init.d/nfs start and try to mount again.

If it does not work, check that the IP address (host name) in the
export matches that of the client (may be it is not in your server
etc/hosts ?).

Ehud.
