OK, that means that /proc/fs/nfs is *not* mounted.
/proc is mounted, and it contains several directories including
/proc/fs/nfs and proc/fs/nfsd.
To get modern NFS service, you need to
mount -t nfsd nfsd /proc/fs/nfsd
before running any nfsd related programs (e.g. mountd, nfsd).
Most distro do that in their startup scripts. It seems you are
missing this.
However it should still work. It seems that it doesn't.
I tried without /proc/fs/nfsd mounted and got the same result as you.
It seems that we broke things when /var/lib/nfs/rmtab was changed to
store IP addresses rather than host names.
The following patch to nfs-utils will fix it. Or you can just mount
the 'nfsd' filesystem as above.
