The command line says "reason > given by server: Permission denied", but my system log says > "authenticated mount request from livecd:803 for ...". I Googled for "nfs squashfs" and found (on the squashfs homepage) that support for exporting via NFS was added in version 3.2. I happened to be using version 3.1 (3.2 is masked in Gentoo).
