I haven't seen no-rootsquash before, its no_root_squash over here.

The mount man page says you probably want hard,intr as options. But that
isn't the cause of your problems.

No idea about the RPC message, but the export file grants access to file
systems to clients, and I think you get permission errors if a client
tries to mount a file system it doesn't have access to (perhaps because
of typos in the exports file).
