Is there a problem with exporting a mount point? It seems that, as long as I'm not trying to export "/export", which is where the resierfs filesystem is mounted, things are working okay. I was exporting /export and /export/home before, now I'm exporting /export/home and /export/files, with pretty much everything in /export moved into /export/files (except for /export/home).
