NFS - Permission denied.

I already have 2 directories shared on my server which are mounted nicely on my desktop computer. I need to share one directory the other way.
On my desktop computer I have this in /etc/exports:

/mnt/files 192.168.1.0/24(rw,sync,no_root_squash,subtree_check)

and that directory's permissions look like this:

[root@desktopcomputer mnt]# pwd && ls -l
/mnt
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root   4096 2007-08-07 11:45 files

i've restarted nfsd and it should definately be exported right.

/mountpoint on the server looks like this:

[root@server /]# pwd && ls -l
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-08-09 17:16 mountpoint

What I get when I run:

root@server /] mount desktopcomputer:/mnt/files /mountpoint

is "mount: desktopcomputer:/mnt/files failed, reason given by server: Permission denied"

I can't figure out why this is happening. I have temporarily opened for all to nfsd, portmap and mountd like stated in the wiki.

#
# /etc/hosts.allow
#
mountd: ALL
nfsd: ALL
portmap: ALL

Any tips? Thanks

Edit:

I have this in the desktopcomputer's /var/log/messages.log:

mountd[12156]: authenticated mount request from server:763 for /mnt/files (/mnt/files)

Could this have something to do with the /mnt/files to be already mounted on the desktopcomputer as a ntfs disk with ntfs-3g ?

so i'm trying to nfs-mount a disk that's already mounted with ntfs-3g locally on desktopcomputer...

phew..:) this is getting complicated for me.

Edit2:

Seems like NFS over Fuse isn't supposed to work. I'm going to copy all the files from the windows machine to the linux server instead. Hopefully that'll work
