I have now just updated the client machine running which looks at the
nfs share.... it could not see the nfs files unless I made the same
change to the /etc/hosts.allow file on the client - then restarting
allows it to see the NFS share.

So the same problem affects both NFS server and NFS client machines
with updates to version rpcbind-0.1.4-8.fc7
