You are correct that I had the .iso mounted using a loopback device.
I didn't realise that directly exporting  the .iso would work.

When I checked "messages" I saw that authoriisation was being denied.
That reminded me that I had some stuff in /etc/allow and /etc/deny to
allow only certain machines in the lab to access Portmap.
Clearing the "deny" list fixed the problem.

Thanks.
