cannot mount NFS share "mount.nfs: access denied by server"

I'm chewing on this one for several days already...

NFS server is a NAS4free installation. It has NFS v4 enabled, which may cause the problem. It worked with an older Arch client on a different host on nfs3 only. I'd like to master v4 though.

I've checked the user settings, UID and GID on the client are 1000 and 1000. Same on the NAS4free server. The user name is identical. Trying to mount with root gives the same result as with sudo from the user shell. access denied.

rpcbind.service,nfs-client.target and remote-fs.target are all active on the client.

showmount -e "NAS4free hostname" gives me the exact paths that I'm trying to mount.

I'm seriously running out of ideas what I might be doing wrong. :-(

Edit:

like I thought - if I switch off nfs4 on the server, I can mount the shares. It's a v4 problem.

Please post showmount output, your mount command (add '-v') and its output.

Oh! I think you're on to something...

# showmount
clnt_create: RPC: Program not registered

# showmount -v
showmount for 1.3.3
