And I'm making absolutely sure.   :-)

I guess the next thing I'd try is trial & error with different options
(on mount and in exports).

And, since this is for your internal network, why are you specifying
hostnames or IP's at all?  Why not export them to the world?  (try it!)

At least I hope this is only for your internal network only.  
You should know that NFS stands for:  "No File Security".   ;-)

Could be.  It's been too long to remember.  I got in the habit of using
IP's a LONG time ago.

The only other thing I can thing of (for general reference) is nested
exports.  I've seen people make the mistake of exporting both:
"/a/b/c/d/e"   -and-   "/a/b/c"   Which causes problems.  
Only the second export is needed to mount either.
