To reiterate, the laptop (server) is 192.168.0.155 and the desktop
(client) is 192.168.0.146. Here is the error message again from the
desktop (two lines, wrapped):

        sudo mount -t nfs
                192.168.0.155:/media/jjj/Movies /media/jjj/Devil--Bonobo
        mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting
                192.168.0.155:/media/jjj/Movies

And also from the desktop:

        showmount -e 192.168.0.155
        Export list for 192.168.0.155:
        /media/jjj/Movies 127.0.0.1,192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0

I take the mount.nfs error message as indicating a permissions problem,
and the second command as meaning that the desktop does at least see the
share on the laptop. 

Also, on the laptop I did 'sudo chmod 777 /media/jjj/Movies.' And on
both computers I am jjj:jjj. Using the GUI I looked at the permissions
for jjj:jjj and they are the same on both computers. On the desktop I
also tried the mount command after doing sudo su to become root, but I
still get the same error message.

The error message certainly sounds like a permissions problem, but I
don't know what else to do. I am wondering if the mount.nfs error is a
generic message that the mount command gives regardless of what
actually caused the failure to mount.
