After what seemed like good ideas for diagnosing the failure of two
SL5.1 systems to export filesystems, I was still unable to correct the

coming in, and local users got impatient for the problem to be corrected,
even if it meant interrupting their work. So I rebooted the machines, and
that seemed to fix the problem. But the refusal to export may well recur
-- it has happened before. Ideas are still welcome on how to diagnose or
correct the problem in the future without rebooting.
I had similar problems which seemed to be related to
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=441983
However I set some lockd ports in /etc/sysconfig/nfs
so your problem may be different.
If the problem is related to that bug report, RedHat's solution given
in http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2009-0107.html would be to upgrade
from the now installed nfs-utils-1.0.9-35z.el5_2.x86_64 to
nfs-utils-1.0.9-40.el5.x86_64 from SL5.3 or 5.x.
