Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the output.  It is helpful.

>   [root at ns3 ~]# exportfs -a
>   gss/krb5:/var/lib/music: Cannot allocate memory

I don't what this means, but ...

This means that the server was unable to map the gss principal name
'nfs/ns2.an3e.org at AN3E.ORG' into a local uid/gid.  If you are are
working with source code versions of nfs-utils, etc.,  I can give you
a patch to get by this error.  Otherwise, if you are working with FC5
rpms we can figure out how to proceed.

K.C.
