No one replied the last time, so I'll assume I'm alone in the error,
though I'm still looking for clues.  FWIW, a tcpdump does not show any
network traffic originating from the f7 box when I issue the mount
command.  I've also installed the new rpcbind package and started it,
though I'm not so certain it's required for clients.

Hints, clues, answers, etc., welcome.
