Please post the entire contents of your /etc/exports file. Some mount
daemons are extremely sensitive to the order that filesystems/clients are
listed. Also, check to see whether each exported directory is on its own
filesystem and report that back as well.
What may be happening is that if there's another entry for the client
you're trying to mount /mnt/lists from, the mount daemon might be ignoring
the global entry and only looking at the entries that name the client
specifically. I've seen similar braindamage in the BSD mount daemon,
don't know about Linux.
One useful debugging step is to empty your /etc/exports except for the
line that's giving you trouble. Then add one line at a time until it
breaks.
