Need NFS help

I've followed the guide from the ubuntu documentation here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo .  I've followed the guides for NFS and NFSv4 in the arch wiki.  I've tried a combination of all of them.  Everything seems to being as planned up until I actually try to mount the share.  Everytime I get this...

"mount.nfs4: mounting boxee-server:/home/boxee failed, reason given by server:
  No such file or directory"

All I want to do is be able to set my torrent program to transfer the files to my boxee-server once they're done downloading.  This is becoming way harder than it should be.  This is certainly not a reason to praise windows, but it's frustrating that I could have this done in windows in 30 seconds.

Re: Need NFS help

# /etc/exports: the access control list for filesystems which may be exported
#               to NFS clients.  See exports(5).
#
# Example for NFSv2 and NFSv3:
# /srv/homes       hostname1(rw,sync,no_subtree_check) hostname2(ro,sync,no_subtree_check)
#
# Example for NFSv4:
# /srv/nfs4        gss/krb5i(rw,sync,fsid=0,crossmnt,no_subtree_check)
# /srv/nfs4/homes  gss/krb5i(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
/export         kellen-desktop(rw,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check,async)
/export/boxee   kellen-desktop(rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async)

Re: Need NFS help

Have you restarted the server since updating /etc/exports  or at least run exportfs -arv ?
Does the directory called /export/boxee exist on the server?

Re: Need NFS help

yes, I've done both, multiple times.  And yes, /export/boxee exists on the server.

Re: Need NFS help

if /export is declared as fsid=0, then mounting / is the equivalent of /export. mount /boxee instead.
