The problem was the mountd flags - all of them were set, but when I ran it
with just -i and -n, things worked fine. I don't know exactly why the
domain and/or subdomain checking wasn't working, since we are using DNS
and all the machines have the same entries in the /etc/hosts files, but it
seems to be fine without those two flags set.

Michael,
I'm not positive but, I think you may need to add "-root=<same remote nodes>"
to your exports file. At least that is the way I have my automounted disks
declared...
