   I realize this is most likely the correct answer, but I will add
another solution just for the sake of completeness. At one point I _did_
have all the correct daemons running (nfsd, mountd), and still came up
with this error. It turned out that I had fiddled around with
/etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny too much and shut off nearly
everything. This generates the same error as not having mountd running.
Wonderfully descriptive :)
