One last change made it work! I added rpcbind: 192.168.47., LOCAL to my
server's /etc/hosts.allow. (See below updated files).
This is the F7 server serving the directories...
[bobh@north ~]# uname -a
Linux north.rosestar.lan 2.6.23.1-10.fc7 #1 SMP Fri Oct 19 15:39:08 EDT 2007

[bobh@north ~]# rpm -q rpcbind nfs-utils
rpcbind-0.1.4-8.fc7
nfs-utils-1.1.0-4.fc7
[bobh@north ~]# cat /etc/hosts.*
#
# hosts.allow This file describes the names of the hosts which are
# allowed to use the local INET services, as decided
# by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server.

portmap: 192.168.47., LOCAL
mountd: 192.168.47., LOCAL
rquotad: 192.168.47., LOCAL
lockd: 192.168.47., LOCAL
statd: 192.168.47., LOCAL
rpcbind: 192.168.47., LOCAL
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
ipop3d: 192.168.47., LOCAL
sshd: 192.168.47., LOCAL
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALL: 127.0.0., localhost
#
# hosts.deny This file describes the names of the hosts which are
# *not* allowed to use the local INET services, as decided
# by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server.
#
# The portmap line is redundant, but it is left to remind you that
# the new secure portmap uses hosts.deny and hosts.allow. In particular
# you should know that NFS uses portmap!
ALL: ALL
This is the F6 workstation trying to mount a directory...
[bobh@south ~]$ uname -a
