[SLUG] Can't mount NFS drives

I've got a machine I'm converting over from RH6.2 to Debian 3.0r1. I've
set this machine to export three directories via NFS, like this (in the
/etc/exports file):

/mnt/lists *(rw,insecure,no_root_squash)

This directory does exist. I have it mounted on the server, and running
the NFS daemons does not return errors. Running showmount -e shows them
as being exported.

On the client, I have the following in my /etc/fstab file:

bullwinkle:/mnt/lists /mnt/lists nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr
0 0

I can run this manually as well, but either way, I get a "Permission
denied" error coming from the server. There is nothing in the server's
hosts.deny nor hosts.allow files, and no firewall running. BTW, I am
running these commands as root (no other way to mount on the client).

Any clues as to why the server won't give me permission?
