Thanks for your help, it turns out that when I removed
the -alldirs flag from /etc/exports it then worked. So
here's what I have in my /etc/exports file:

/usr/src -maproot=root sparky

I guess my real question is: What is the proper way to
export the /usr/src tree so I can build from other
boxes? I assume things get written to this directory
from the client (for sure when I build the kernel), so
what happens when I want to build again from another
client? Do I have to clean the source tree on the nfs
server every time?

Sorry, I don't do this kind of thing normally. I'm
just a regular user type of guy...
