mount failed, reason given by server: Permission denied

Question
I'm running linux2.2.14,
I'm trying to mount 2 different partitions on a remote host computer.
One of them I'm able to mount successfully, while the other one gives me:

mount failed, reason given by server: Permission denied

On the host computer, I list both in the /etc/exports file. And I list both in
my /etc/fstab file.

As far as I can tell things are set up identically for the two, but one fails and one works. Any ideas why the one could be failing?

soln
I suspect that the second export might not be actually occuring (typo in the exports file) and you can check that on the exporting system with "exportfs". It should list both exported filesystems. You probably already know, but there are some things, like logical links that can't be exported.
