Need help getting NFS running

I'm having problems getting 386/ix NFS to talk from my machine to the server
which is a MAC IIcx running Apple's A/UX. Several other A/UX machines are
already talking to the server so the problem most likely is on my end.
The correct permissions have been set in the server's /etc/exports file.
The node name of the server is nfsmac. When I try to mount the server's
disk I get the following response:
mount -f NFS nfsmac:/users_disk /users_disk
mount: invalid fs type <NFS>
I have a /users_disk directory on my machine for the mount point.
There's a section in the NFS Administration manual which shows the
possible errors that can be received when a mount is attempted,
naturally this isn't one of them.
The portmapper on the server seems to be running fine as the following shows:
rpcinfo -p nfsmac
program vers proto port
100003 2 udp 2049 nfs
100012 1 udp 1037 sprayd
100002 1 udp 1039 rusersd
100002 2 udp 1039 rusersd
100005 1 udp 1042 mountd
100008 1 udp 1044 walld
100001 1 udp 1046 rstatd
100001 2 udp 1046 rstatd
When I issue a showmount command for the server it fails:
showmount -e nfsmac
xdr_groups: xdr_bool fails
xdr_groups: xdr_reference fails
xdr_exportbody: xdr_reference fails
xdr_exports: xdr_reference fails
showmount: RPC: Can't decode result
I can rlogin to the server with no problems at all. I have followed ISC's
installation procedures exactly. Also, I am using the host-based TCP/IP.
Does anyone have any ideas??
Oh yeah, the following TCP/IP and NFS daemons are running on my machine:
UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME COMMAND
root 94 1 0 08:23:41 ? 0:04 /etc/rwhod
root 82 1 0 08:23:38 ? 0:00 netsched
root 90 1 0 08:23:41 ? 0:00 /etc/inetd
root 97 1 0 08:23:45 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q30m
root 136 1 0 08:24:13 ? 0:00 portmap
root 138 1 0 08:24:14 ? 0:00 mountd
root 147 1 0 08:24:15 ? 0:00 statd
root 142 1 0 08:24:15 ? 0:00 rexd
root 149 1 0 08:24:16 ? 0:00 pcnfsd -s /usr/tmp
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm getting lots of grief from
my co-workers about how they don't have any of these problems with
their MACs and A/UX :-(.
