I think the problem is that you are missing the nfs registrations (and 
possibly rstatd and nlockmgr too if you need them).    I think you can do:

nfsd -r

to re-register the entries in rpc.  You should check the process list on 
presto and see if nfsd is running, and also check for rstatd, and lockd.
