"mount_nfs: rpcbind on server: RPC: Program not registered"

Hi all!
You guys are my last resort here.

I have a FreeBSD 5.3 RELEASE box at the office and a NetBSD 1.6.1 box at
home. I'm trying to do something stunningly unimaginitive, mount my
office nfs export on my home box.

I made the requisite entries in /etc/exports on the office machine,(also
hosts.allow and hosts.deny for security) then started:
mountd
rpcbind
nfsd

On the home machine I then tried to mount the share:

mount server:/usr/home/colin serverhome

and (as the subject line states, got this error message:
mount_nfs: rpcbind on server: RPC: Program not registered

I've been wrestling with this problem for over a week now. Googling the
specific error message itself didn't come up with a definitive answer so
in desperation I thought I'd ask here.

Help, guidance, suggestions - any and all would be more than welcome and
most gratefully received.

Regards,
-Colin

That's a new error on me. Do you have portamp running?

I can't say I'm familiar with NetBSD. Does nfsd include server side
daemons like statd and lockd?
